Basal-cell carcinoma on and around the female genitalia

J Dermatol Surg Oncol. 1981 Jul;7(7):572-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1524-4725.1981.tb00700.x.

Abstract

Three cases of basal-cell carcinoma on and around the female genitalia are described. Two of these cases had multiple skin tumors on sun-exposed as well as on covered areas of the body. It is postulated that the biologic age of basal cells may be a factor in the genesis of skin cancer.
