Abstract

The diagnosis of calcifying epithelioma is more easily made on the basis of the histopathological findings than the clinical manifestations. Calcifying epidermal cyst is only one that must be differentiated from calcifying epitheIioma because of its similarity in histopathological findings. 9 cases of calcifying epithelioma which have been collected at Seoul National University Hospital for the past ten years, frorn October 1960 to September 1970, are reported. Summary of the clinical and histopathological findings are as follows; 1) Range of age: one to sixty years old. 2) Ratio of sex: nearly equal in both sexes (5 male, 4 female.) 3) The final diagnosis of all of the cases was made not on the clinical basis but on the histopathological findings. 4) Only one case out of nine showed multiple skin lesions.
