Excerpt from The British Journal of Dermatology, Vol. 18 In view of the fact that the recent tendency of research into the origin of cancer and malignancy in general has been to give up the infective hypothesis and revert to the older suggestion of developmental sequestration of foetal relics, it is interesting at the present moment to investigate the forerunners of malignancy, and in particular that one which appears most likely to be of congenital and developmental origin, in the hope that through it we may be able to throw some light upon the more important question of malignancy itself. I propose, in the first place, to define exactly what I understand by the term "mole." Clinically, they are seen as circumscribed patches on the skin, which differ greatly in size, appear, as a rule, soon after birth, rarely at birth, grow larger during childhood, and generally remain stationary for the remainder of life. They may, or may not, be covered with hair, and are nearly always more or less deeply pigmented. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
