Two cases of epidermoid carcinoma in situ of the skin, one with mucinous metaplasia and the other with sebaceous metaplasia, are reported. These unique cases suggest a spectrum of differentiation possible by neoplastic epidermal keratinocytes, which may help in the understanding of the histogenesis of certain skin neoplasms.
