malformalady:Bone destruction shown in the skull of a person who had syphilis on display at National Museum of Health & Medicine in Silver Springs, MD.

In the skeleton, syphilis is most often seen in the cranium and tibia, with deep erosions and thickened formation of new bone.Photo credit: Rextyoung -- source link
