A basal cell epithelioma (BCE) apparently developed on another BCE, a hitherto undescribed condition to our knowledge. Fifteen specimens were prepared at representative planes, but there were no connections between the two tumors. In order to indirectly verify that there were two different tumors, the speed of growth was calculated; it roughly agreed with the calculation by Ono's formula, attesting to the diagnosis of BCE.
