Will an i, a neoplastic disease of the skin that begins commonly in early life, pursues a very protracted course, and is attended with destruction of ti ues. A cellular new growth, of the nature of granuloma, takes place in the corium and sometimes also in the mucous membrane, as of the mouth, throat, nose, etc., giving rise to maeules, papules, tubercles, or nodules of the surface, which tend to undergo degeneration followed by atrophy of the skin with desquamation of the epidermis or by ulceration with formation of cicatrices. According to its varying clinical features, different varieties of the disease have been described. [G]. Acne i form 1. Fr., I. acneique. See L. erythema to sus sebaceus.Acne 1. [HutchinsonJ.

Erythematous 1., a superficial inflammatory affection of the skin characterized usually by very slow development and by the production of atrophy or cicatrization without ulceration. The disease commonly occurs in patches of various shapes and extent upon which the surface is red, congested, and scaly, while the centre of each patch tends to become slightly depre ed, whitish, and atrophic. In the region of sebaceous glands the scales are of a greasy character, and are provided with little prolongations that dip down into the orifices of the dilated follicles. Where the follicles have undergone atrophy or in situations, as upon the palms, where they are absent, the scales are thin, dry, and adherent. When occurring on the face, it frequently spreads in the form of two large patches, one on each cheek, united by a narrow patch pa ing over the nose, the whole resembling a butterfly in shape.

A severe or malignant form of 1. erythema to sus, first described by Kaposi, in which more or le numerous efflorescences, either di eminated over the cutaneous surface or aggregated in patches, occur about the head, hands, and feet, sometimes also upon the limbs and trunk. The eruption, which maybe more or le acute in its development, is attended with fever and with pains in the head, bones, and joints. Sometimes in the face the eruption a umes an erysipelatous character (see ERYSIPELAS perstans facii). [G.] L. erythema to suK dis semi i i at us.
