Periostitis in secondary syphilis: a place for bone scintigraphy.

Abstract
Two cases of secondary syphilis are reported with periostitis as the main presenting feature. Technetium-99m bone scintigraphy was found to be superior to radiography in both defining the extent of involvement and in picking up early lesions.
