Irgang, S. and Alexander, E. (New York). A case of erythroplasia (Arch, of Derm. A. Syph., No. 2, 34, 1936)
A report on a case concerning a 77-year-old Negro who had symptoms of balanitis 4 years before contacting the authors. Various methods of therapy were used, but the process was not curable. In their appearance, the lesions on the head looked like leukoplakia, but there was no infiltration, in some places the process tended to superficial ulceration. The inguinal glands are not changed. Wasserman's reaction was negative. When studying a biopsy piece of tissue, the phenomena of parakeratosis, proliferation of the epithelium, accumulation of cells in keratonized foci, and dilation of blood vessels were found. Based on the study of patient data, the authors believe that erythroplasia should be considered a manifestation of cancer.
