331 Ethnic variation in rare cutaneous malignancies: A single institution experience and comparison to SEER data

This study examines the incidence of rare cutaneous malignancies in a single institution as compared to publicly available SEER data. All patients presenting to the Johns Hopkins Health System from 2012 to 2017 with available demographics (n = 4,696,491) were considered, and those with a diagnosis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), Kaposi sarcoma (KS), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), mycosis fungoides/cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), or sebaceous adenocarcinoma (SA) were stratified by race.
