Abstract
Syphilitic balanitis is an uncommon rather underreported manifestation of primary syphilis initially described by Eugene Follmann and subsequently named after him. It is characterized by balanitis with or without a primary chancre and inguinal lymphadenopathy. Given its rarity, Follmann balanitis may be misdiagnosed with other causes of balanitis. Therefore, a strong clinical suspicion and awareness are crucial, particularly in the current resurgence of syphilis. With this background, we hereby report a case of Follmann balanitis in secondary syphilis, diagnosed based on clinical features, positive syphilis serology, and response to benzathine penicillin treatment.
