Abstract
The independent value of many histologic features of syphilis may be overestimated. Combinations of endothelial swelling, interstitial inflammation, irregular acanthosis, and elongated rete ridges should raise the possibility of syphilis, along with the presence of vacuolar interface dermatitis with a lymphocyte in nearly every vacuole and lymphocytes with visible cytoplasm.
