Case reports

Unilateral penile swelling: an unusual presentation of primary syphilis?

S Cheng and P French

Correspondence to: Dr P French Email: patrick.french{at}Camdenpct.nhs.uk

Primary syphilis is characterized by a solitary, painless, indurated ulcer (chancre) at the site of inoculation, with associated inguinal lymph nodes that are enlarged, rubbery, painless and discrete. We report a case of syphilis that presented with penile swelling associated with tender lymphadenopathy and review the literature concerning this unusual presentation of early syphilis.

Key Words: primary syphilis • penile swelling
