Abstract:
We report a case of a 45 year-old bisexual male with multiple enlarged cervical and inguinal lymph nodes. Malignant lymphoma was suspected. Initial fine needle aspirations and the following extirpation of a cervical lymph node revealed severe chronic inflammation. However, thorough blood screening was positive for syphilis. No lesions were found in the mouth, throat or anogenital region. The man was diagnosed as having secondary syphilis, and responded well to treatment with intramuscular benzathin penicillin.
