AB  - Secondary syphilis has been known since the late 19th century as the great 
      imitator; however, some experts now regard cutaneous lymphoma as the great 
      imitator of skin disease. Either disease, at times an equally fastidious 
      diagnosis, has reported to mimic each other even. It is thus vital to consider 
      these possibilities when presented with a patient demonstrating peculiar skin 
      lesions. No other manifestation of secondary syphilis may pose such quandary as a 
      rare case of rupioid syphilis impersonating cutaneous lymphoma. We present such a 
      case, of a 36-year-old HIV positive male, misdiagnosed with aggressive cutaneous 
      lymphoma, actually exhibiting rupioid syphilis thought secondary to immune 
      reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS).
