They arise in consequence of chronic laryngeal catarrh, commence by the epithelium being detached, are flatirregular, and often run together.2) Aphthous ulcers. They emanate from the diphtheritic process;the raucous lining becomes infiltrated, is rapidly destroyed, andsmall, generally round ulcer arises, which is surrounded with a rareola. They most commonly are present during pulmonary tuberculosis, and likewise occur on the pharyngeal mucous membrane.3) Follicular ulcers. They are a result of the inflammation andulceration of the mucous follicles, and form small, rounded, deeppenetrating ulcers. They generally break out in the pharynx,whence they spread to the larynx. If follicular ulcers in the phaynx are accompanied by constant hoarseness, the existence of suchulcers must likewise be suspected in the larynx.4) T^ibercvlar ulcers. They always accompany tuberculosis. Liketuberculosis they appear in two forms, as tubercular infiltrationas miliary tuberculosis. They are most commonly seated on theposterior wall of the larynx, less frequently on the epiglottis.ing infiltration the infiltrated portion of the mucous membranedies, leaving an ulcerated surface behind. During granular deposition, we first notice small, gray, little tubercles, which form lulcers that not unfrequently run together and give rise to ulcerasurfaces of larger extent. Both these kinds of tubercular ulcersmay spread in width and depth, invade the vocal chords andcartilages, and lead to perforations and destructions.The so-called laryngeal phthisis is only a partial manifestationa general disease. Mo^t frequently it is tuberculosis that leadslaryngeal phthisis. This form of causative relation can only beadopted as long as the phenomena of the laryngeal affection areperceived, while the tubercular process in the lungs is either arrested or has not yet broken out. As a rule, tuberculosis of thelarynx is connected vrith tuberculosis of the lungs or other orgaIn a case of continual hoarseness, we diagnose tubercular ulcers,provided we have become satisfied of the simultaneous existenceof pulmonary tuberculosis.
