Many elaborate classifications have been proposed for this group of lesions, but most of them are needlessly complex, and are based upon more or less artificial morphologic variations. For our purposes it will be sufficient to divide them roughly into two large groups: (1) the chronic fixed or discoid type, and...Bibliography1.
