The coexistence of two tumors, porocarcinoma and extramammary Paget's disease (EMP) in one tissue section, facilitates a subtle but distinct differentiation of the two cell types. The adjacent occurrence of the two tumors perhaps indicates a common origin in their benign form. The biologic mechanism of the Pagetoid phenomenon is demonstrated.
