DYSTROPHIA ADIPOSOGENITALIS 



881 



Citelli and Caliceti reported three cases of hypophyseal feminism in 

 soldiers, who had suffered from adenoids. The skeleton and genitalia were 

 normal, but they showed a condition of hypotrichosis, delicate skin, de- 

 velopment of the mammae, feminine distribution of the pubic hair and 

 sexual frigidity. 



Multiple Hemangiomas. Multiple hemangiomas of the skin were 

 observed in two cases of dyspituitarism by Head. In one case the skin 

 of the scrotum, thighs, back and abdomen was affected, in the other the 

 scrotum and the mucous membranes of the lips and mouth were involved. 

 Hemangiomas were present in two of the writer's series, both typical 

 cases of dystrophia adiposogenitalis. In the one they appeared on the 

 chest, back of the neck and arms, in the other on the mucous membrane 

 of the upper lip.
