We describe the cytogenetic study of six neoplastic and eight nonneoplastic skin samples from sun-exposed body sites or sites close to tumors. The cytogenetic findings revealed that chromosome rearrangements are common in sun-exposed normal skin, similar to the situation in cutaneous tumors, and suggest that such karyotypic abnormalities might be indicative of the genetic instability caused by specific mutations and resulting from carcinogenic exposure of the tissue.

D002280 Carcinoma, Basal Cell A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
