| Popis: | IN view of the renewed interest in the subject of gastric lues, owing to a recent critical review of reported cases from the pathological and clinical viewpoints (1), it seems advisable to emphasize the roentgen-ray diagnosis of this condition, inasmuch as other findings are not always conclusive. This is particularly the case in regard to the histological findings. Turnbull (2) states that the histological diagnosis of syphilitic inflammation is even more difficult in the case of the stomach than in that of other organs (Fig. 3B). The demonstration of spirochetes in gastric lues has been made by Dr. McNee (3), and previously by Dr. Warthin,2 but in many other cases of undoubted gastric syphilis spirochetes were not demonstrable. Inasmuch as the X-ray findings are so clear-cut and distinctive in certain other pathological conditions that they are accepted without histological confirmation—for example, in the diagnosis of bone tu- mor, where it is now generally conceded that the roentgen-ray findings are s... |
