Squamous carcinoma of the hand behaves more aggressively, and is more difficult to cure by non-surgical means, when it arises in the interdigital clefts or adjacent skin over the metacarpo phalangeal joints.

A simple method to correct inverted nipples is described. The method is suitable only when the patient has no desire or ability to breast feed.
A series of 37 patients with Gorlin's syndrome is described; 23 had the typical naevi, 19 had jaw cysts and only 10 had both. A wide range of associated deformities was noted. The need for early identification of patients at risk is stressed; follow-up is essential for 2 reasons: The naevi although indistinguishable histologically from basal cell carcinomas only rarely require radical removal. The jaw cysts are locally invasive and should be radically removed when small. In 8 patients examined there was a low level of alpha-globulins in the plasma. Spontaneous involution of the naevi may occur in un-irradiated skin.
The pseudo-synovium appearing around Silastic rods is a labile layer made up of a range of cells from undifferentiated fibroblast precursors through to mature fibrocytes. Various factors influencing their behaviour are discussed. The optimum time for grafting into a rod-induced sheath would seem to be in excess of four months.

A simple, accurate method for demonstrating very small areas of endothelium is described. Some possible fields for further investigation are suggested. An outline of the possible normal mechanism of endothelial regeneration is described.
