We present a case of periocular cutaneous malignant fibrohistiocytoma that invaded the orbit. Complete excision is recommended for atypical fibrohistiocytic tumors around the eye. Examination of specimen margins by frozen section should be undertaken with caution. It is recommended that frozen section evaluation be performed by a pathologist familiar with spindle cell neoplasm to ensure complete removal of this tumor.

Contact sensitivity to nitrogen mustard was delayed after first treating patients with u.v. light. While the number of patients becoming sensitive to nitrogen mustard after ultraviolet light exposure was not significantly different from the control, the number of patients who became sensitive in the first 30 days was significantly less than the control group. It is postulated than this delay in sensitization is due to an alteration of the patients' epidermal Langerhans cells, produced by the u.v. light exposure.

Mothers of 20 children with learning disorders completed questionnaires concerning the histories and current problems of their children. All the children had average or above average IQs, but below average academic achievement. Compared with a control group of 20 mothers matched for years of education, the mothers of children with learning disorders made significantly more spelling errors per 100 words. The differences in number of spelling errors between learing disorders and control groups were greater for mothers with 12 or fewer years of education than for mothers with more than 12 yr. of education.
