This observation raises the question of the correlation between the clinical and the histologic picture of the lymphoblastomas involving the skin primarily. In 1902, Breakey,1referring to the cutaneous manifestations of the lymphoid diseases, stated that "while the study of these dermatoses has been prosecuted
