1/18. psoriasis of the penis: Koebner reaction. Following oral genital exposure.Today, there is an apparent increase in oral genital activity among heterosexual groups not only in the united states but also globally. As a result, gonococcal pharyngitis was rediscovered, and primary syphilis of the oral cavity has been recognized with increasing frequency. In addition, physicians are seeing a wide variety of traumatic lesions of the genitals from "hickeys" of the labia to dental imprints and ulcerations of the glans penis. Our patient exhibits an interesting phenomenon recognized readily elsewhere on the skin but infrequently diagnosed on the glans penis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/18. The value of serological tests for syphilis in atypical genital ulcer disease.A 45-year-old heterosexual man presented with phimosis three weeks after arriving in this country from india. Examination under anaesthesia and circumcision revealed a large ulcer on the ventral aspect of the penis around the fraenum. Histopathological examination of a biopsy taken from the ulcer revealed granulation tissue with inflammatory cell infiltrate. Specific and non-specific serological tests for syphilis carried out four weeks after the initial presentation showed high titres. The importance of serological tests for syphilis in genital ulcer disease, especially in atypical presentations, is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/18. The hard penile circumferential fold as the presenting finding in primary syphilis: report of six cases.BACKGROUND: Six patients with firm circumferential folds located in the balanic sulcus of the penis were studied. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to determine the origin of the lesions. methods: These patients were examined clinically, with dark-field examination when possible and with a serologic test for syphilis. RESULTS: All patients had reactive serologic tests for syphilis and had enlarged, firm, nontender, inguinal lymph nodes. CONCLUSION: Although we were unable to prove with certainty that the origin of these folds was syphilitic, all patients had clinical and serologic findings that supported the diagnosis of primary syphilis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 7keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/18. Artificial penile nodules and secondary syphilis.A patient with artificial penile nodules and ulcerative plaques on the penis is described. Clinical course, histology and serological examination revealed a diagnosis of secondary syphilis. The differential diagnosis of the ulcerative genital lesions in the presence of artificial penile nodules is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/18. Simultaneous infection with treponema pallidum and herpes simplex virus.Two cases are presented of simultaneous infection with treponema pallidum and herpes simplex virus. The occasional concurrence of these diseases suggests that all cases of herpes genitalis, including those with negative darkfield examinations and initial nonreactive serologic tests for syphilis, should be followed in two to four weeks by a repeat serologic test for syphilis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/18. Gummatous penile ulceration and generalised lymphadenopathy in homosexual man: case report.A case of granulomatous penile ulceration associated with generalised lymphadenopathy in a homosexual man aged 43 is presented. His serum gave positive results to tests for syphilis, but was negative for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (hiv). His condition responded briskly to treatment with procaine penicillin, and we conclude that the clinical features were attributable to infection with treponema pallidum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/18. amyloidosis presenting as a penile mass.We report a unique case of amyloidosis presenting as a localized soft tissue mass in the shaft of the penis unassociated with systemic amyloidosis, trauma, penile ulcers, syphilis or other venereal diseases. The patient presented with a penile mass and intermittent hematuria. biopsy revealed homogeneous deposits of amorphous eosinophilic material, and histochemistry and electron microscopy demonstrated the classical features of amyloid.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/18. Crohn's disease involving the penis.Perianal complications of Crohn's disease occur in 25-70% of patients but perineal and genital lesions are rare. Treatment is controversial and there is a risk of recurrent or persistent disease. We report two cases of Crohn's disease involving the penis, one with multiple scrotal urinary fistulae, partial destruction of the proximal urethra, and ulceration of the penile shaft; the other with metastatic cutaneous ulceration of the penile shaft. The second case is particularly unusual in that the patient presented at the VD clinic as a case of syphilis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/18. A case of secondary syphilis with a solitary pulmonary lesion.This study describes a case of secondary syphilis with a papular eruption and penile ulceration. A chest roentgenogram showed a solitary lesion in the left middle lung field. Histological examination revealed epithelioid cell granuloma in both the penile ulcer and the lung lesion. After antisyphilitic treatment, the lung lesion shrunk remarkably and at the same time the skin eruption and the systemic symptoms also improved.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/18. Papulosquamous lesions of glans penis.The presentation of a scaly papule or plaque on the glans penis should suggest more wide-spread papulosquamous disease. Careful examination of the remaining body surface, including the oral mucosa and nails, in almost all cases will yield clues to the correct diagnosis. Papulosquamous disease which may present as a penile lesion include psoriasis, Reiter syndrome, lichen planus, lichen nitidus, seborrheic dermatitis, secondary syphilis, fixed drug eruption, erythroplasia of Queyrat, plasma cell balanitis of Zoon, bowenoid papulosis, and discoid and lichenoid chronic dermatosis of Sulzberger and Garbe.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = syphilis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
