Keratoses While it is more or less generally recognized, as has beenpointed out by Ealer,^° that hypertrophic lesions of late sj^philismay become hyperkeratotic, still it should always be rememberedthat a type of plantar or palmar keratosis exists, which resem- CUTANEOUS COMPLICATIONS 153 bles the congenital type, but which is directly due to and Flurin^^ have reported an instance of this keratoses in all probability arise upon Fig. 81.—A vegetative dermatitis may follow upon the discharge from gummatous ulcer-ations.
