ABSTRACT: In 30 vitiligo cases axon-reflex sweat secretion test with nicotine tartrate 1: 1000000 dilution and surface temperature were studied in comparison to normal adjacent skin. In 14 cases there was a decrease both in sweating and temperature and in 7 cases there was increased sweating with increase in temperature in vitiliginous area indicating an altered tone in cholinergic axon-reflex mechanism.

ABSTRACT: A 55 year old male having papulo-nodular and verrucous lesions distributed over the extremities and a nodule in the right breast was examined and investigated.

During a follow up period of two years the skin lesions disappeared by local therapy and there was no recurrence of breast tumour after excision. The possible relationship of LPH and CB is discussed.
