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.

D013587 Syphilis A contagious venereal disease caused by the spirochete TREPONEMA PALLIDUM. Great Pox
D049268 Positron-Emission Tomography An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.

D055613 Multiple Pulmonary Nodules A number of small lung lesions characterized by small round masses of 2- to 3-mm in diameter. They are usually detected by chest CT scans (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY, X-RAY). Such nodules can be associated with metastases of malignancies inside or outside the lung, benign granulomas, or other lesions.
