  • Title: Basal cell carcinoma and melanocytic nevus in the same lesion.
    Author: Taira JW, Flaming JA, Weigand DA.
    Journal: Cutis; 1992 Jan; 49(1):40-2. PubMed ID: 1733658.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of basal cell carcinoma and intradermal melanocytic nevus in the same lesion. A review of the literature indicates that the simultaneous occurrence of two or more neoplasms in one specimen is a relatively infrequent finding. The pathogenesis of simultaneously occurring neoplasms remains the subject of speculation. Based on currently available evidence, we believe that the coexistence of lesions in this particular patient is most likely coincidental.
