Abstract
IN 1926 Abrikossoff1first described a peculiar tumor which he later concluded was derived from primitive myoblasts and to which he gave the name of ``myoblastoma.'' In 1945 Crane and Tremblay2were able to gather 162 cases, including 5 of their own. A review of the literature through September 19493disclosed an additional 58 cases which with the addition of our own bring the total to 221. Since 20.4 per cent of myoblastomas are of the skin and subcutis, involvement of these areas being second in frequency to involvement of the tongue (37.6 per cent),3ait is apparent that approximately 50 per cent of the reported cases are of dermatologic interest. Despite this statistical importance, the articles by Tuta and Schmidt,4Bloom and Ginzler3cand Cipollaro and Einhorn3dand the case presentations by Ebert and Slepyan5and by Printz3fareKeywords
