A case of an extensive chronic roentgen-ray dermatosis on the face of a 68 year old man is reported which developed approximately thirty years after x- ray treatment for sycosis barbae and eczema on the hands. Both fore-arms were amputated six and fourteen years after radiation therapy because of severe destructive lesions. Within the area of this late chronic roentgen-ray dermatosis on the face (forehead, nose, eyelids) gradually eight malignant tumors developed, i.e., four spinocellulars carcinomas, three basalcell carcinomas, and one polymorphocellular sarcoma. All of the tumors, including polymorphocellulars sarcoma, were sparingly excised with optimum therapeutic and cosmetic results and the patient has now for more than two years shown no signs of relapse. There is only an atypic flat spinocellular lesion on the right ala nasi which is uncertain. (auth)
