N2 - Syphilis can cause a wide range of systemic manifestations, such as papular rash, malaise, weight loss, muscle aches, generalized lymphadenopathy, and meningitis. However, pulmonary involvement in patients with secondary syphilis is thought to be relatively rare. Moreover, bone involvement in patients with secondary syphilis is also considered rare, and only a few cases of involvement of lung and bone in such patients have been reported. In this paper, we report a case of secondary syphilis with pulmonary involvement in the form of multiple nodules with low attenuation areas, lymphadenopathy and multiple bone lesions detected on computed tomography and 18F fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography.
