Abstract:
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Tertiary syphilis, a late-stage multi-visceral complication of the disease is characterized by its diversity of clinical manifestations. Here, we present the first documented case of tertiary syphilis that clinically and radiologically mimicked primary rectal cancer with hepatic metastasis.

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
