Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...The discharge may be the first symptom which calls the patient's attention to his condition. The second or ulcerative form resembles somewhat the carcinomata of the lip with their crater-like ulceration, indurated bases, and edges. In the differential diagnosis of the cauliflower form one must consider venereal warts. These are softer and there is no induration of the base or of the inguinal lymph-nodes. From the ulcerative form one must differentiate a chancre and a gumma. In neither of these are the edges or base as hard as in carcinoma. In chancre there may be enlargement of the inguinal nodes, but they are never as indurated, and the primary lesion is followed by other secondary symptoms within a few weeks. If any doubt exists, the administration of antisyphilitic remedies will soon clear up a chancre. In the case of a gumma of the penis the same clinical findings hold true. The edges or base are never as indurated, there are no enlarged inguinal nodes, and there is usually the history of syphilis or evidence of its presence elsewhere. The administration of potassium iodid should cause a marked difference in the appearance of the ulceration within a week.

The latter property is, however, lacking in the majority of such cases. Such non-developed testes may not show any perceptible decrease in size, but usually they are much smaller than the normal organ. One c...
