Zusammenfassung:. We performed a controlled study to investigate the psychosocial problems of patients diagnosed and treated for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) as compared to the general population. Thirty‐nine BCC patients and 39 matched controls answered a psychosocial questionnaire. Chi square analysis of the questionnaire results revealed no statistically significant difference between the BCC patients and the control group. In conclusion, no more psychosocial problems were found in BCC patients than in members of the general population.
