Description: Dermatologic stereoview card. Front of card depicts a person with Epithelioma. The reverse of the card describes the dermatologic conditions as well as the diagnosis and treatment. Epitheliomatous ulcers, like epitheliomatous tumors, may be classified as superficial and deep. The superficial is variously known also as Rodent ulcer, Jacob’s ulcer, Cancoriod ulcer, Ulcus exedens, and Noli me tangere. The deep ulcer is like the other except that it is delicately vascularized waxy border is often much more prominent and the edges of the ulcer are usually steeper and sometimes underminded. The floor is more irregular because of the tendency of the growth to encroach far beyond the skin upon muscle, fascia, cartilage and bone. Epithelioma may also be known as Ulcus epitheliomatosum.
