Abstract
Syphilis has a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, among which cerebral gumma is a kind of neurosyphilis. However, it is rare and can be cured by penicillin. We report a case of syphilitic gumma of which the patient was first suspected of brain tumor, but confirmed by surgery to be cerebral gumma due to neurosyphilis. Magnetic resonance imaging, which is thought to be one of the potential and specific diagnostic methods for neurosyphilis, is discussed.
