[Syphilis lesions of the stomach]. / O sifiliticheskom porazhenii zheludka.

The paper describes a syphilitic lesion of the stomach in a man who for the first time consulted therapeutist and gastroenterologist with symptoms similar to stomach tumors. A possible infection took place during diagnostic fibrogastroscopy (FGS). Reiterated FGS did not permit endoscopists to suspect syphilis. The data of roentgenography fell into the pattern of stomach cancer. After additional examination with performance of specific seroreactions, an early latent syphilis was diagnosed. The treatment resulted in full clinico-serologic regression of the disease. A timely detection of syphilitic stomach lesion is a great problem if clinical manifestations are estimated separately from anamnestic data.
