This curious lesion is observed in syphilis only, and was regarded by Ricord as pathognomonic of the disease. Palmar and plantar syphilides, also described as psoriasiform syphilides, are a common and important variety of the papular manifestations. They have considerable diagnostic importance, which is further enhanced by the fact that not infrequently they are the only visible evidence of the disease, especially in insufficiently treated subjects. The eruption is usually of the lenticular type, but it may be diffuse or circinate. The lenticular type consists in the appearance on the palmar surface of rose-colored spots, visible under the thick epidermis. These develop into slightly raised papules of varying size, usually round, and covered at first with grayish scales. When these are cast off the denuded papules assume a brownish-red or raw-ham color, and are surrounded by a scaly border or collar. They feel dry and rough owing to the circumscribed thickening of the epidermis, and usually number from four to six elements, sometimes less (see Plate 143, Fig. 233). In the diffuse type the eruption is spread over a variable extent of the palm, which, owing to the infiltration, feels dry, rough, and presents here and there grayish exfoliating spots, with scaly borders. The color is generally a sombre red, while fine white or chalky lines, corresponding to the normal furrows, are also observed. In the circinate form the papules may be grouped in semi-annular or crescentic shapes, or else the papules meet so as to form continuous tapelike bands, which describe various..., 173514, Medical Books, 227560, Administration & Medicine Economics, 227571, Allied Health Professions, 227191, Basic Sciences, 227604, Dentistry, 3559244011, History, 266181, Medical Informatics, 265542, Medicine, 227640, Nursing, 265544, Pharmacology, 6511980011, Psychology, 227677, Research, 227719, Veterinary Medicine, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
