However, there are forms of this skin reaction where one element may predominate and appear to suggest another and a different type of congenital abnormality. This is not surprising since congenital abnormalities need not be restricted to a single element of the skin. There are so-called angiomatous forms of xeroderma pigmentosum, which usually occur late in the disease. This form is usually characterized by telangiectasia, so-called senile angiomas, and even large vascular tumors. Miescher¹ has discussed these eruptive angioblastomatous reactions. Moreover, the vascular reaction in xeroderma pigmentosum is of such importance that Gans and Steigleider² indicated that this tissue may be the source of a possible primary development for xeroderma pigmentosum. Even in the development of classical features of xeroderma pigmentosum, there is an early, socalled erythematous stage which precedes the hyperpigmentation. Later the . . .
