This tumor was considered to be coincidental, or formed as a response to epithelial and stromal changes developed in one of these tumors. Collision tumors of the skin are very rarely seen. We present herein a 48-year-old woman with a nodular lesion on the nose. The histological examination showed the presence of a collision tumor with keratoacanthoma-like squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma developed in the same lesion. The first tumor was composed of deeply infiltrated solid squamous cell islands with keratinization. At the bottom of the keratoacanthoma-like areas, there were malign tumor with keratinized squamous cell islands with invasion to the dermis. Adjacent to this area, basal cell islands demonstrating peripheral palisading row of cells. So, we evaluated it as a collision tumor.
