Abstract
The authors report a case of 36-year-old male who suffered from incurable ulcer of the pharynx. There were doubts as to whether it was of tuberculous, syphilitic or moniliatic origin, and no clear basis was found to establish the diagnosis on. Use of all sorts of medicaments reported in literatures proved effectless, and when at last the ulcerated part was resected, it was exacerbated. According to the classification by Prof. T. Goto, the local finding was the flat, creeping, solitary and aphthous form, but it could not be diagnosed as moniliasis, because actinomyces were not proved. Vaccination and blood transfusion were somewhat effective as the therapy. It seems that in such a case some less stimulant pigments are advisable for local treatment and at the same time it is important to make efforts to recover the general conditions of the patient.
