Gastric involvement in a patient with secondary syphilis / S. Massironi, S. Carmagnola, R. Penagini, D. Conte. - In: DIGESTIVE AND LIVER DISEASE. - ISSN 1590-8658. - 37:5(2005), pp. 368-371.
Abstract:
A 30-year-old man was referred because of a short lasting history of severe epigastric pain and early satiety, with remarkable weight loss. Physical examination was fully consistent with secondary syphilis and upper GI tract endoscopy revealed multiple gastric mucopurulent erosions and several nodular lesions ranging from 2 to 3 cm in diameter, with central crater, abruptly ending at the pyloric level. Appropriate antibiotic treatment obtained a dramatic improvement and complete reversal of cutaneous and gastric lesions.
