Syphilis is a widespread infection with increasing frequency in developed countries, especially among men who have sex with men. We present two cases of oropharyngeal syphilis in two middle-aged men who presented with a painless tonsillar ulcer and progressive enlargement of cervical lymph nodes suspected of being a tonsillar tumour. A pathologic analysis of the ulcer led to an accurate diagnosis. We review the imaging and pathologic findings to emphasize the importance of taking syphilis into account in the differential diagnosis.
梅毒是一种在发达国家中发病率不断上升的广泛传播的感染性疾病,尤其是在男同性恋者中。我们报告了两例中年男性口咽梅毒病例,他们均表现为无痛性扁桃体溃疡和疑似扁桃体肿瘤的颈部淋巴结进行性肿大。对溃疡进行病理分析后得出了准确诊断。我们回顾影像学和病理检查结果,以强调在鉴别诊断中考虑梅毒的重要性。
