“…The incidence of more than one skin cancer was higher than usual (57% compared to 16%) in the general population . The incidence of squamous‐cell carcinomas relative to basal‐cell carcinomas (3:2) was also higher than the expected incidence of 1:4 in the general population …”

Three basal- and four squamous-cell carcinomas in seven patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or chronic lymphocytic lymphoma recurred repeatedly after conventional treatment, and grew to large sizes. The squamous-cell carcinomas metastasized in all four of the patients so afflicted. Absolute numbers of circulating T lymphocytes were normal in the seven patients, but they had cutaneous anergy to intradermal tests with common antigens and to dinitrochlorobenzene. The following recommendations for management of cutaneous carcinomas in patients with malignant lymphomatoses are made: 1) closer surveillance than for patients with cutaneous cancers but without malignant lymphomatoses, 2) early treatment of actinic keratoses to prevent possible transformation to malignancy, and 3) microscopically controlled excision of basal- or squamous-cell carcinomas larger than 1 cm in diameter.

“…Sir -If an effect of sun exposure is the explanation for the late summer peak in diagnosis of nonmelanocytic skin cancers in the Oxford region (Swerdlow, 1985), and the previously observed winter deficit in their diagnosis in Houston, Texas (Freeman & Knox, 1970), then this pattern should be present, but shifted 6 months in the calendar (as it is for malignant melanoma; Holman & Armstrong, 1981), in the southern hemisphere. Figure 1 11.25, P=0.004; Edwards, 1961) and squamous cell cancer in men only (X2 = 6.66, P = 0.04).…”
