Abstract:
Syphilitic involvement of the stomach often takes the appearance of neoplastic conditions. We describe the radiological findings of syphilitic gastritis. A 36-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer by upper GI and CT, but syphilitic gastritis was confirmed by endoscopy and upper GI series performed after penicillin therapy, We report a case of syphilitic gastritis presented as advanced stomach cancer by clinical, endoscopic and radiological study.
