We report multiple squamous cell carcinomas of the skin in an elderly man that occurred after he developed antibodies to HIV.In September 1984, a 79-year-old white man with lifelong factor IX deficiency had a positive serologic test for HIV. Other findings included an OKT4:OKT8 (helper:suppressor) ratio of 0.07, oral...References1. IRWINBEGANDYMOORE LMT.
