Abstract
The following case is reported because of the exceptionally wide and unusual distribution and the resistance to roentgen therapy: REPORT OF A CASE R. Z., a white woman aged 22, born in Poland, was admitted to the dermatologic clinic of the Jewish Hospital on Dec. 23, 1935, complaining of an eruption on the body. She had first noticed it about twelve years before, on the anterior surface of the neck and the upper part of the thorax. The lesions were not pruritic. In 1932 the patient had been at the Sea View Hospital, Staten Island, N. Y., because of tuberculosis of the upper lobe of the left lung. She had been receiving pneumothorax treatment on the left side for the past three years. Examination showed numerous discrete irregular-shaped papular lesions, varying in size from that of a pinhead to 3 mm. and slightly raised above the level of the skin.
