We treated 13 patients with oropharyngeal syhilis from 1983 to 1991 . Most of the lesions were mucous patches, but there were also some ulcers and flares . We biopsied the lesions and observed them under light and electron microscopes.
Neutrophils and plasma cells were the main components of the lesions; there were no eosinophils or mast cells. We therefore did not consider that these lesions were due to an allergic reaction. Marked invasion of plasma cells and lymphocytes was observed around blood vessels, and many neutrophils were seen in the epithelial cell layer . There cells showed signs of chronic inflammation.
The fact that neutrophils tended to decrease after the start of antisyphilitic therapy suggests that they play an important role in stagell of this disease.
