It measures longitudinally 65 mm. and transversely 55 mm. and projects above the cutaneous surface some 15 mm. Its edges are well defined and slightly undermined. Its surface is irregular and fleshy. Microscopic examination shows the structure of a squamous-cell carcinoma, with much central necrosis, with epithelial pearls.
