An analysis of over 390,000 adults revealed that atopic dermatitis (AD) was linked to a higher risk of nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) compared with matched controls. 

**Key Findings:**
- The NMSC incidence was 2.12 vs. 1.74 cases per 100 person-years, corresponding to an adjusted hazard ratio of 1.32. 
- The elevated risk persisted in patients with moderate-to-severe AD and was similar when compared with rheumatoid arthritis controls. 
- Those with prior NMSC, malignancy, or organ transplantation faced the greatest risk. 

The findings highlight AD as an independent risk factor for NMSC, underscoring the need for regular dermatologic surveillance.
