Five EXAMPLES of a peculiar cutaneous or subcutaneous tumor have been encountered during the past year which have been described in the literature as "calcifying" or "calcified" epithelioma When the first of these tumors was seen, a diagnosis of carcinoma arising in an epidermal cyst was considered; Dr. W.
