ABSTRACT
Skeletal lesions such as osteomyelitis induced by acquired syphilis are rarely encountered except in the neuropathic joints of tertiary syphilis. The authors experienced syphilitic osteomyelitis of the clavicle in a 51 year-old lady. The lesion seemed to be a malignant tumor radiologically, but diagnosis was not achieved even by biopsy. However, thorough serologic examinations enabled an accurate diagnosis and the disease was controlled effectively by antibiotics, including penicillin injections. The authors report this case and include a review of the literature, which describes the rarity and clinical significance of this condition.
