Report on empirical data of X-ray treatment of dermatoses in the genital area, concerning indications, technique and results. Irradiations are mainly successful in large patches of Bowen's disease and Bowen's carcinoma as well as in Queyrat's erythroplasia and Paget's disease. Carcinomata of the penis should not exceed the stages T1-T2. Regression of Peyronie's disease is accelerated. Psoriatic lesions disappear following Grenz-rays without further topical treatment. Grenz-rays can also prevent or delay local recurrences of herpes simplex eruptions in the genital area.
