Abstract
A rapidly growing, hemorrhagic, exophytic tumor on the upper back of a 44-year-old male patient was investigated. Histological, immunohistoc hemical, and electron microscopic studies revealed both basal cell car cinoma-like and spindle cell sarcoma-like structures intermingled in t he same tumor. Clinical consequences to this patient were mainly depen dent on the sarcomatous element.
