title: Basal-cell carcinomas on covered or unusual sites of the body.
abstract: Basal-cell carcinomas on covered, anatomically shielded, or otherwise unusual sites of the body are rare compared to the number on constantly exposed parts of the body, but since basal-cell carcinomas are so common, instances of the former sort are not infrequently encountered. Five such cases are described and illustrated.
