Self-healing pseudocancers of the skin.

It is believed that a group of self-healing tumors which clinically and microscopically may be confused with squamous cell carcinomas are all variants of one entity, although there are certain differences between the members of the group. The clinical, as well as the histologic evaluation of these tumors is necessary to differentiate them from true squamous cell carcinomas. Some should be treated for cosmetic purposes since the scars following self-healing may be more unsightly than those caused by treatment.

Symmetric lividity of the soles as seen in private practice.

As seen in private practice, symmetric lividity of the soles is a relatively common condition which occurs predominantly in males in the first three decades of life.Untreated, the syndrome may persist for many years or it may be self-limiting, lasting only a few days. Occupation does not seem to be a factor predisposing to symmetric lividity of the soles. There is a high incidence of family occurrence of this condition.Any form of treatment which controls the hyperhidrosis controls the other symptoms of symmetric lividity of the soles.

Lymphoblastomas in childhood; cutaneous manifestations.

The lymphoblastomas occurring in childhood are divided for purposes of discussion into lymphocytoma cutis, mycosis fungoides, lymphosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease, and leukemia. The cutaneous lesions may be either specific (as a result of the infiltration of the skin with specific cells of the conditions) or toxic (non-specific). With the possible exception of mycosis fungoides, the cutaneous manifestations are not diagnostic. The final diagnosis depends upon microscopic examination of the specific tissue involved and the coordination of the clinical and microscopic findings.
