Excerpt from Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology, Vol. 11: February, 1902 In all of these cases we not only find the histologic ele ments of a tubercular lesion but also frequently the pres ence of the tubercle bacillus. The syphilitic lesions of the nasal chambers are in the form of mucous patch, superficial ulcers and gummatous infiltration. The mucous patch is by all acknowledged to be an exceedingly uncommon nasal affection in syphilis, as is also the superficial ulcer. The superficial ulcer, when it appears, is no doubt due toa gummy deposit. We are therefore forced to the conclusion that the gummatous tumor is the factor in syphilis that alone produces the ex tensive involvement and destruction which leads to perfor ation of the septum in this disease.
