Here, as in the mouth, syphilis manifests itself in multifarious ways. A persistent Catarrh having the ordinary characters of subacute simple catarrh is very common. Mucous patches or Condylomata are tolerably frequent, especially on the pillars of the fauces and on the soft palate. In the tertiary stage with or without the formation of gummata, there may be Ulceration of the mucous membrane. Not infrequently the ulceration extends very deeply and causes destruction of the uvula and palate. It may extend to the epiglottis and no further. It is frequently accompanied by considerable thickening and cicatricial contraction, so that it may lead to great deformity and sometimes to stenosis of the pharynx.
