Description
Summary:The patient had a history of multiple, heterosexual, unprotected exposure to a commercial sex worker 3 months back which was not followed by genital ulcer or urethral discharge. Routine hematological investigations, HIV antibodies, VDRL, radiological investigations, ultrasound examination of the abdomen, CT-scan of the chest, abdomen, pelvis and brain, CSF analysis, and montoux test were all within normal limits. In the first case, a 28-year-old male presented with a swelling on the left side of the nose extending up to the left side of the forehead and encroaching the left side of the upper lip and angle of the mouth with a blackish, granular discharge from his left nostril and a couple of sinus openings on the left paranasal area.
