What is the secondary lesion in syphilis?

Gumma
Chancre
Maculopapular rash
Condyloma latum

The correct answer is: Condyloma latum

Condyloma latum is the secondary lesion in syphilis, which is characterized by the development of wart-like growths on the skin or mucous membranes. These growths are typically painless but can cause discomfort if they become ulcerated. Gumma, chancre, and maculopapular rash are all primary lesions that occur in the early stages of syphilis. Gumma is a soft, tumor-like growth that forms in the skin, bones, or organs. Chancre is a painless, ulcerated lesion that appears at the site of the initial infection. Maculopapular rash is a rash that appears as reddish-brown or pink bumps on the skin and can occur in various stages of syphilis. Therefore, while these options may be associated with syphilis, they are not the secondary lesion.
