Ultrastructural proof of polyomavirus in Merkel cell carcinoma tumour cells and its absence in small cell carcinoma of the lung. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND: A new virus called the Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) has recently been found in Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). MCC is a rare aggressive small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma primarily derived from the skin, morphologically indistinguishable ...

Lymphotropism of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Infection, Nova Scotia, Canada

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010
To test the hypothesis that Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) can infect cells of the lymphoid system, we analyzed 353 specimens, including 152 non-Hodgkin lymphomas, 44 Hodgkin lymphomas, 110 benign lymph nodes, 27 lymph nodes with metastasis, and 20 ...

Detection and characterization of two chimpanzee polyomavirus genotypes from different subspecies [PDF]

, 2010
The complete nucleotide sequences of three chimpanzee polyomavirus genetic variants were determined. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the viruses form two different genotypes of ChPyV.

Detection of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus in Seborrheic Keratosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Seborrheic keratosis (SK) is the most common benign cutaneous neoplasm. A subset shows increased p16 expression. Since SK shares several features with verruca vulgaris, e.g., increased p16 expression, human papillomaviruses (HPV) have been suggested as ...

The PP4R1 sub-unit of protein phosphatase PP4 is essential for inhibition of NF-kB by Merkel Polyomavirus small Tumour antigen [PDF]

, 2017
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive skin cancer with a high metastatic potential. The majority of MCC cases are caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), through expression of the virus-encoded tumour antigens.

Frequent detection of human polyomavirus 6 in keratoacanthomas [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The recent discovery of the Merkel cell polyomavirus and its consistent association with Merkel cell carcinoma has drawn attention to the numerous recently discovered polyomaviruses and their possible involvement in the etiopathogenesis of ...

Merkel cell polyomavirus: molecular insights into the most recently discovered human tumour virus. [PDF]

, 2014
A fifth of worldwide cancer cases have an infectious origin, with viral infection being the foremost. One such cancer is Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare but aggressive skin malignancy.

DNA Virus Detection in Olfactory Neuroblastomas Using Targeted Enrichment NGS

Neuropathology, Volume 46, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT A variety of malignancies can be found in the sinonasal tract including the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and skull base. Many of these are attributed to viruses, for example, carcinomas with the presence of transcriptionally active high‐risk human papillomavirus, as well as Epstein–Barr virus associated malignant lymphoepithelial carcinoma

Distinct merkel cell polyomavirus molecular features in tumour and non tumour specimens from patients with merkel cell carcinoma.

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) is associated with Merkel Cell carcinoma (MCC), a rare, aggressive skin cancer with neuroendocrine features. The causal role of MCPyV is highly suggested by monoclonal integration of its genome and expression of the viral
