title: Comparison of the DNA content in recurrent and nonrecurrent basaliomas of the face.
abstract: The ploidy status of 5 recurrent and 7 nonrecurrent basaliomas was investigated using a CAS 200 image analyser. All recurrent basaliomas were aneuploid in contrast to nonrecurrent ones representing the euploid status. The percentage of cells in S phase in recurrent basaliomas was twice as high as in nonrecurrent ones. The authors conclude that aneuploidy in primary tumour can be a warning signal for recurrences and these patients should undergo special control.
