title: [Cutaneous burns caused by Yperite. Apropos of 2 new cases].
abstract: Based on two of their own cases, the authors review the lesions produced by Yperite. This chemical agent produces cutaneous burns which are quite characteristic; histological study of biopsies carried out on cutaneous lesions was used to define the effects on the epidermis and dermis. The treatment of patients, with this rare condition, remains symptomatic.
