Demographic and clinical presentation data were recorded. Histologic analysis of each sample was completed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of PWA were female (53.7%), with a mean age of 34.6\u00a0\u00b1\u00a014.9\u00a0years and a mean duration of disease of 0.70\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.73\u00a0years. Physician description of histologically proven BCC included ulceration (41.7%), erythema (16.7%), and scale (16.7%). Lesions were most commonly located on the trunk (47.1%) and face (41.2%). Histologic analysis demonstrated 30.2% of lesions were BCC, 26.4% SCC, and 17% Bowen's disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patient population was limited to those visiting clinics, and data were limited by accuracy of the medical record.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Basal cell carcinoma occurs at a higher rate than SCC in our population, suggesting BCC in PWA is underdiagnosed.
