essible, hollow, tubercle-like elevations, of a pinkish
or faint lilac color, and occurring for the most part about the trunk.
It is of slow but usually progressive development, and is unaccompanied
by subjective symptoms.

A rare condition, Kaposi described as lymphangioma tuberosum multiplex,
characterized by more or less solid, somewhat cystic, pearly to pinkish
red, sometimes crowded lesions, is now known to be "benign cystic
epithelioma"; its most common site is the face. While called "benign,"
ulcerative action may eventually ensue.

Treatment, when demanded, consists of operative measures.

#Rhinoscleroma.#

#Describe rhinoscleroma.#

Rhinoscleroma is a rare and obscure disease, slow but progressive in its
course, characterized by the development of an irregular, dense and
hard, flattened, tubercular, non-ulcerating, cellular new growth, having
its seat about the nose and contiguous parts. The overlying skin is
normal in color, or it may be light- or dark-brown or reddish. Marked
disfigurement and closure, partial or complete, of the nasal orifices
gradually results. It is met with chiefly in Austria and Germany.

Treatment, consisting of partial or complete extirpation, is rarely
permanent in its results, the disease tending to recur.

#What is lupus erythematosus?#

Lupus erythematosus may be roughly defined as a mildly to moderately
inflammatory superficial new-growth formation, characterized by one,
several, or more circumscribed, variously sized and shaped, pinkish or
dark red patches, covered slightly, and more or less irregularly, with
adherent grayish or yellowish scales.

#Upon what parts is lupus erythematosus observed?#

Its common site is the face, usually the nose and cheeks, with a
tendency toward symmetry; it is often limited to these parts, but may
occasionally be seen upon other regions, more especially the lips, ears,
and scalp. In rare instances a great part of the general surface may
become involved.

#Describe the symptoms of lupus erythematosus.#

Usually the disease begins as one or several rounded, circumscribed,
pin-head- to pea-sized lesions; slightly scaly, somewhat elevated, and
of a pinkish, reddish or violaceous color. They slowly, or somewhat
rapidly, increase in
