  • Latent Stage:
    Begins about 1 year after infection.

    After the second year new lesions are rare.
    This stage may last several years or for the remainder of the patient's life.
    In untreated cases, about one-third of those infected develop Late-Stage or Tertiary syphilis which may show up after many years.
  • Tertiary or Late-Stage:
    Lesions develop between 3 and 10 years after infection.
    The typical lesion is a rubbery, chronic, localized inflammation characterized by centralized gray-white necrosis, surrounded by granulized tissue.
    They increase slowly in size, heal gradually and leave scars.
    They may affect an organ or tissue.
    Often they occur in Submucosal tissue such as the:
    Palate
    Nasal septum
    Pharynx
    Larynx
    They lead to tissue degeneration with perforation of the palate, or septum.
