A Case for Diagnosis (Subepidermal Fibrosis?). Presented by DR. H. C. L. LINDSAY.

L. V. B., a 55 year old white woman, first noticed "purplish spots" on the right leg. These have remained, and two new similar lesions have subsequently appeared, one on the left arm and one on the right cheek. Lately two more lesions have appeared, one on the left calf and two on the left thigh. The lesions are pea sized, slightly elevated and purplish. Some are telangiectatic, while the larger lesions on the legs are purpuric. The color cannot be pressed out by diascopy. There are no subjective symptoms.

DISCUSSION

DR. ANKER JENSEN: I think lesions are typical of early subepidermal fibrosis of Michelson.

DR. SAMUEL AYRES JR.: I think the diagnosis will have to be made on histologic grounds. Clinically I did not feel that the lesions were typical of subepidermal fibrosis of Michelson.
