That report was believed to be the first in the American literature and it emphasized the benign course of the disorder. The patient has now been followed up for 20 years, and the subsequent events, we feel, are of interest.CASE REPORTAs previously stated (1), the patient was examined first in 1944 at the age of 49 because of recurrent episodes of small "red spots" on the lower...References1.
