title: Multiple basal cell carcinoma in tropical Australia.
abstract: No association between HLA DR1 and the development of multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCC) was found among patients who had lived at least two-thirds of their lives in the tropics. The percentage of patients with multiple BCCs increased with age; this was different from what has been found in people living in the temperate zone of Australia.
