Special features of non-melanoma skin cancer in Hong Kong Chinese patients: 10-year retrospective study.

Abstract

When compared with reported findings in Caucasians, Chinese patients show differences in the clinical type and multiplicity of lesions, predisposing factors, recurrence, and subsequent new skin cancer rates for non-melanoma skin cancer. Pigmented basal cell carcinoma seems to be an important differential diagnosis with regard to pigmented lesions in the Chinese population.
