Myeloma of the breast is a rare entity with only a few reported cases in the literature. It is usually secondary to adjacent bone disease with only a few instances of primary involvement of the breast. We present a rare case of plasmacytoma of left humerus that presented with multiple breast masses and skin nodules. Histopathology of the breast and skin nodules showed plasma cells consistent wi...

Other gradually progressive diseases presenting as discharging sin-uses in children are actinomycosis, botryomycosis, nocardiosis, and sporotrichosis. Sinus tracts of actinomycosis and nocardiosis usually discharge granules; botryomycosis is associated with subcuta-neous nodules and large verrucous (w...

Skin biopsy was done on the ventral side of the fifth distal phalange, and clear vi...

The supposition that X-ray would affect the developing and the developed verruga nodules experimentally induced in the monkey, has proved correct. The experiments show that the early verruga nodules when exposed to a single, properly graduated dose of X-ray producing merely erythema of the skin, are inhibited in their evolution. Moreover, the skin of Macacus rhesus monkeys is modified by a sing...
