title: Basal cell carcinoma at the base of the penis in a black patient.
abstract: Basal cell carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed malignant skin tumor. It is found most frequently on sun-exposed skin. There is a higher incidence of basal cell carcinoma in white skin than in black skin. We report the thirteenth case of basal cell carcinoma on the penis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported such case in a black patient.
