Infiltration And Superficial Necrosis Of The Mucosa And Submucosa Of The Upper Lip

Illustration from 'Atlas of Syphilis and the Venereal Diseases' (by Frank Mracek and Lemuel Bolton Bangs), 1898. Present Condition: About the middle of the upper lip an elliptical infiltration about as large as a half dollar the long axis corresponding with that of the lip. At the left extremity, a fissure about 5 mm wide and 1 cm long. The submaxillary glands can be felt on both sides but not the parotid lymphatic glands. The lymph glands of the rest of the body but little affected. (Photo by VintageMedStock/Getty Images)
