Sclerosis Of The Right Tonsil

Illustration from 'Atlas of Syphilis and the Venereal Diseases' (by Frank Mracek and Lemuel Bolton Bangs), 1898. Present Condition: The right tonsil is larger than a pigeon's egg and readies almost to the middle line, forcing the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches far apart. It shows considerable infiltration and is covered with partly necrosed ulcers. The mucous membrane of the adjoining tissues is inflamed and slightly swollen. The inflammation extends as far as the uvula on the left side and in front as far as the anterior border of the soft palate. Under the angle of the jaw on the right side is a slightly movable tumor about as large as a hen's egg which corresponds to the submaxillary gland. The middle cervical glands and the supraclavicular glands on the right side are as large as beans or hazelnuts, easily movable but not painful. The left middle cervical and the axillary and inguinal glands are also palpable but not swollen. (Photo by VintageMedStock/Getty Images)
