Congenital and Acquired Syphilis of the Stomach

Abstract
Two cases of gastric syphilis are described, one of them being of congenital origin and proved histologically. The various types of gastric syphilis are presented as evolutionary stages in these two cases and demonstrated radiologically. The results of antisyphilitic treatment are shown to be great anatomical improvement in the case of linitis plastica and anatomical restoration to normal in the case of the advanced tumour type. A review of the literature is submitted.
