Syphilis has been referred to as the great imitator, the great mimic, and the great masquerader. It often presents with clinical and histological findings similar to many other dermatological conditions. We report a patient presenting with nodular plaques, a rare form of secondary syphilis. The histological features revealed a pseudolymphoma mimicking a cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma. Syphilis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a cutaneous lymphoreticular process.
梅毒被称为“伟大的模仿者”“伟大的伪装者”。它常常表现出与许多其他皮肤病类似的临床和组织学特征。我们报告一例表现为结节性斑块的患者，这是二期梅毒的一种罕见形式。组织学特征显示为假性淋巴瘤，酷似皮肤边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤。在皮肤淋巴网状组织病变的鉴别诊断中应考虑梅毒。
