Abstract
During the past winter two patients consulted us for an affection of the tongue which had not previously come under our observation. We have been unable to find a reference in medical literature to a similar condition nor have several of our dermatologic and surgical colleagues to whom these cases or illustrations have been shown seen such a case. It may, therefore, be looked on for the time at least as an undescribed growth of the tongue. The two patients gave a history of a previous syphilitic infection. In one of them the history of such an infection was doubtful; in the other, quite definite. Intensive treatment in the latter in no way affected the tongue lesions. Both patients when they consulted us had negative Wassermann reactions with both antigens employed in our laboratory, and they presented no clinical signs or symptoms of syphilis. <h3>REPORT OF CASES</h3><h3>Case 1.—History.—</h3> Mr.
