title: [Langerhans cell population in basal cell epitheliomas].
abstract: The authors studied the distribution of Langerhans cells in 42 cases of basal-cell epithelioma using monoclonals antibodies OKT6 and anti-HLA-Dr. The tumors are grouped in anatomopathologic subtypes. An increase of density of Langerhans cells is observed in the upper-tumoral epidermis. In the tissue tumour, the Langerhans cells are scarce, and we find a higher number of Langerhans cells in the peritumoral dermis.
