title: Basal-cell carcinoma on and around the female genitalia.
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.
