CANCER OF THE SKIN.
BY J. A. FORDYCE, MD, New York City;
Professor of Dermatology and Syphilology in the University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College.
Cancer of the skin is at times characterized by certain definite features, which differ radically from those met with in malignant growths of the mucous membranes or the viscera. It is often relatively benign in its course, frequently multiple in its manifestations, and sometimes preceded by precancerous epithelial changes of indefinite duration.
