THE broad term" skin. cancer" usually includes basal-cell epithelioma, or rodent ulcer, and squamous-cell epithelioma. As a matter of fact, the term skin cancer should include four types of-epithelioma; that is, basal-cell, squamous-cell, melanotic and ton-melanotic melano-epithelioma, 4 varying in degree of malignancy with their capacity to cause death in the proportion approximately of 35 for the first, 65 for the second,-and 95 for the last two types on the basis of I to IOO. 3 The recognition of the type of skin cancer being dealt with is of prime importance from the standpoint of prognosis. Carcinomas which originate in the sweat and sebaceous glands should not come under this term any more than carcinoma of the breast, as they originate from the germinal cells of specialized glands of dermal origin.Polymorphism of Epithelial Cells.-No cells of the body are more prone to change their form than are epithelial cells. Not infrequently cells are seen inneoplasms, under the high power of the microscope, which bear a close resemblance to muscle-cells and fibroblasts, but since they can be traced directly to the basal layer of the skin, there can be no doubtwith regard to their origin (Figs. I, 2, 3 and 4). Kettle, in his article" Polymorphism of the Malignant Epithelial Cell," states:
