title: Bone scintigraphy in latent congenital syphilis.
abstract: A 26-year-old man with congenital syphilis presented with increased periosteal uptake of Tc-99m MDP during bone scintigraphy. In addition, bowing of the tibias and apparent shortening of the tibias were seen on the bone scan. Corresponding abnormalities were noted on roentgenography of the lower extremities.
