title: Enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in naevoid basal-cell epithelioma.
abstract: The activities of 27 enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism and the proportions of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were determined in epidermis, in superficial epitheliomas and in several solid tumours biopsied from a patient with basal-cell naevus syndrome. The activity patterns varied from that of normal epidermis to that found in basal-cell epitheliomas. Thickened epidermis, superficial epitheliomas and some of the solid tumours presented an intermediate pattern. Histologically similar lesions sometimes differed markedly in their enzyme activities.
