A rapidly growing, hemorrhagic, exophytic tumor on the upper back of a 44‐year‐old male patient was investigated. Histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic studies revealed both basal cell carcinoma‐like and spindle cell sarcoma‐like structures intermingled in the same tumor. Clinical consequences to this patient were mainly dependent on the sarcomatous element.
