Abstract
The relative density of skin tumours by anatomical siste has been drawn from a variety of clinical studies and tumour registry investigations. The data sources are remarkably consistent and support current theories implicating chronic solar exposure in the development of non-melanoma and intense exposure for melanoma tumours.Keywords
