Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers at Sites of Previous Frostbite: Case Report and Review. Case Reports in Dermatology, 10(1), 17–23. https://doi.org/10.1159/0004864771662-656710.1159/000486477https://doi.org/10.1159/000486477https://www.karger.com/Article/FullText/486477http://nur.nu.edu.kz/handle/123456789/4732The association between ultraviolet radiation exposure and skin cancer is well established. Limited studies have reported an association between frostbite and the development of non-melanoma skin cancer but evidence for a proven link is insufficient and possible carcinogenic mechanisms have not been fully explored. In this report, 3 cases of non-melanoma skin cancer (1 case of basal cell carcinoma and 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) which developed at a site of previous frostbite caused by exposure to extremely cold temperatures in Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan, are described.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 United Statesskin cancerultraviolet radiationNon-Melanoma Skin CancersCarcinogenesisFrostbiteCold injuryResearch Subject Categories::MEDICINEArticle
