Report of a Case

Kathleen A. Riley, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1970;101(4):416-417.

Abstract
To my knowledge, only 45 cases of carcinoma appearing in smallpox vaccinations are in the literature. Basal cell carcinoma appeared in a smallpox scar 50 years after vaccination in a 64-year-old man. Significant evaluation of their relationship at this time is impossible. Whether this is a casual occurrence or a definite sequela to smallpox vaccination cannot be determined from present knowledge.
