Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous cancer that predominately affects elderly Caucasians with fair skin and has a propensity for local recurrence and regional lymph node metastases. A variety of terms have been used to describe this tumor, including trabecular cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine or primary small cell carcinoma of the

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and extremely aggressive skin cancer that arises from primary neural cells. It presents most commonly in the elderly and immunocompromised patients. Pathologically, MCC should be distinguished from extrapulmonary small cell lung cancer or metastatic small cell lung cancer or a small cell variant of melanoma.

Merkel cell polyomavirus and Merkel cell carcinoma [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017 Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) causes the highly aggressive and relatively rare skin cancer known as Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). MCPyV also causes a lifelong yet relatively innocuous infection and is one of 14 distinct human polyomaviruses species.

Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) are rare cutaneous neuroendocrine neoplasms that are clinically aggressive due to a relatively high local, regional, and distant metastatic recurrence potential. They are found most commonly in Caucasian (94 %), elderly patients, with an average age at presentation being approximately 72 years.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1993
Merkel cell carcinoma is a malignant neuroendocrine tumor with features of epithelial differentiation. Biologically aggressive, it may be difficult to diagnose and, particularly in its late stages, even more difficult to treat effectively. This article addresses what is known and what is still controversial about the histogenesis, diagnosis, and ...

Merkel cell carcinoma is an aggressive tumor with nonspecific clinical features. The prognosis in general is worse than malignant melanoma. Local recurrence rates are high with one-third of patients having recurrence within one year of excision. The tumor invades blood vessels and lymphatics.

Journal of Computed Tomography, 1987
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the skin which is locally invasive and frequently metastasizes to lymph nodes, liver, lungs, bone, and brain. Computed tomographic and pathologic findings in an elderly woman with Merkel cell carcinoma of the buttock and regional nodal metastasis are reported.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare but aggressive carcinoma of the skin, arising most commonly in sun-exposed sites of elderly patients. The diagnosis is based on characteristic histopathologic features. In 2008, the discovery of the Merkel cell polyomavirus led to intensified research into the viral pathogenesisis of MCC.
