    805 tissue cells in the perivascular lymph spaces, with little addi- tion of other varieties. The tumour soon begins to degenerate, and the tissue is rarefied, showing a network of branched connective tissue cells. It should be remembered that true giant cells of sarcomatous type were found, though rarely. Compared with other new growths of the skin, this must be said histologically to possess affinity to sarcoma and also to the very rare cases of so-called pseudoleucemia cutis described by Arning* and Max Joseph.f The new growth here described, nevertheless, seems at present to be rather sui generis. It should be particularly emphasized how different the his- tology of this process is from that of leucemia cutis with its lymphoid tissue and small lymphoid cells.+ As a preliminary name for the clinical and histological type here described, the term, “ Multiple Benign Sarkoid,” perhaps, will not be found unsuitable. It will be remembered that Max Joseph recently proposed the name sarkoid—used previously by Kaposi in a wider sense—to be applied to some special forms of sarcomatosis with fatal prognosis.
