Abstract
|
|
|
|
Inflammatory pseudotumor of lymph nodes represents an unusual cause of lymphadenitis of unknown etiology. At the time of biopsy, none of the patients was suspected for luetic infection. In summary, I report a case of syphilitic cervical lymphadenopathy without accompanying signs on the skin or mucosa. Subcurative, short-term antibiotic therapy may mask the manifestation of syphilis. Otolaryngologists should still keep syphilitic cervical lymphadenopathy in mind in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.
