Coming soonTertiary yaws is the late, noncontagious stage of yaws, a chronic nonvenereal treponemal infection caused by *Treponema pallidum* subspecies *pertenue*.
Developing years after the initial childhood infection in approximately 10% of untreated individuals, this phase predominantly affects the skin, cartilage, and skeletal system.
It is pathophysiologically characterized by chronic granulomatous inflammation and progressive tissue necrosis, resulting in ulcerative gummatous skin lesions, osteoperiostitis, cortical bone destruction, and severe deformities such as bowing of the tibias (saber shin) and extensive destruction of facial structures (gangosa and goundou).
