title: On the occurrence of sphaeridia in basalioma cells and the basal cells of the overlying epidermis.
abstract: 302 nuclear sections of basalioma cells, 145 nuclear sections of the basal cells of the epidermis above the tumor, and 177 nuclear sections of the basal cells of normal epidermis were investigated and statistically evaluated with the aim of determining the presence of sphaeridia occur significantly more frequently in the basal cells of the epidermis above the tumor and in normal epidermis than in the tumor itself. These findings are discussed in connection with the degree of cellular protein synthesis.
