Usually found on the face, trunk or extremities, although any organ can be affected. A firm, necrotic center surrounded by inflamed tissue, which forms an amorphous proteinaceous mass with no preserved original architecture. It is restricted to necrosis involving spirochaetal infections (i.e. spirochetes) that cause syphilis.
