Abstract
200 cases of cutaneous epitheliomas have been treated in a ten-years period. Face skin was remarked to be the most involved site. A slight prevailing incidence was observed in males and the most frequent occurence in patients over 60 years of age. A prevalence of clinical ulcerated form and histological spinocellular type was observed. Curietherapy has been the treatment of choice; plesioroentgentherapy was also employed. Recovery was obtained in the 61 per cent of the cases.
