Background: Tauopathy is recognized not only as a pathological substrate but also exhibits a robust correlation with the clinical manifestations of dementia, leading to diverse neuropsychiatric manifestation. However, human brain functions as networks rather than modules. The conventional query of 'Where is the lesion (regionally)?' may inadequately capture the entirety of dementia manifestations.

In cases of mucosal lesions, syphilis presents distinctive characteristics that can help clinicians differentiate it from other conditions. The most common manifestation of primary syphilis is mostly a painless, firm, indurated ulcer known as a chancre, which typically appears at the site of inoculation, with enlargement of regional lymph nodes.
