Abstract
Primary carcinoma of the fingers not superimposed upon a previous x-ray, radium, or chemical burn is a rare condition, only twenty-two cases being recorded in medical literature. In the Radiation Therapy Department of Bellevue Hospital, where the great majority of cases treated are malignant tumors, only two instances of carcinoma of the finger have been observed among 11,400 cases seen since 1925. The first of these was reported by Rubenfeld in 1932, and at the time of his report represented an incidence of one in 6,400 cases. Five thousand additional cases were seen before the second case, reported in this paper, was encountered.Keywords
