On the biological behaviour of basaliomas.
On the basis of our experience in 250 clinically and histologically proved cases of basaliomas, these tumours are classified as benign. Facts which seem to argue in favour of malignancy are refuted systematically. The criteria of the nature of carcinomas therefore do not apply to basalioma. Nevertheless the fact should not lead to underestimation of these tumours and to inadequate treatment.
