Abstract
The clinical features of patients with basal‐cell carcinoma (BCC) living in temperate and tropical Australia were studied. In the temperate zone the patients were considerably older on average, men outnumbered women and there were differences between the sexes in the site of the prevalent BCC. In the tropics the patients were significantly younger on average, the male‐to‐female ratio approached unity and there were no differences between the sexes with regard to the site of the BCC.
