RNA‐Sequencing Reveals Two Subgroups of Eccrine Porocarcinomas and Poromas
ABSTRACT Eccrine porocarcinoma (EPC), a rare malignant eccrine gland tumour, remains molecularly understudied. Transcriptomic studies of EPC and benign eccrine poroma (EP) have identified recurrent fusions and expression changes, but differences distinguishing malignant EPC from benign EP are unclear.

RB1 inactivation in cutaneous carcinomas
Among skin carcinomas, recurrent RB1 inactivation is observed in Merkel cell carcinoma, in a subset of squamous cell carcinoma with bowenoid morphology, in sebaceous carcinoma and in the recently described Wnt/beta‐catenin rosette‐forming carcinoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma with seborrheic keratosis: A unique association
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, clinically aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin; MCC is 40 times less common as compared to melanoma. The most frequently reported sites have been the head and neck, extremities, and trunk.

This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

The Murky Life of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus [PDF]
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) expressing viral T antigens is a common feature of most Merkel cell carcinomas, a primary neuroendocrine skin tumor. MCPyV has been difficult to propagate in vitro. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Liu et al. (2016) report that human dermal fibroblasts support productive MCPyV infection.

The cellular chloride channels CLIC1 and CLIC4 contribute to virus-mediated cell motility [PDF]
Ion channels regulate many aspects of cell physiology, including cell proliferation, motility, and migration, and aberrant expression and activity of ion channels is associated with various stages of tumor development, with K⁺ and Cl⁻ channels now being ...

Merkel Cell Carcinoma: A Complete Response to Avelumab Immunotherapy
ABSTRACT Merkel cell carcinoma is an aggressive form of cancer with poor prognosis, particularly for individuals deemed unsuitable for surgical resection. With new immunotherapy agents being used alone or as an adjuvant treatment, improving long term outcomes are being seen, even for those deemed to be treated with palliative intent.

Incidental Merkel cell carcinoma in a cutaneous horn: a case report.
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous neuroendocrine malignancy, which usually presents as an asymptomatic, rapidly growing, firm nodule on sun-damaged skin. We present a 93-year-old female who presented with a “cutaneous horn” on the face.

Recent studies have suggested that BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) may be associated with the development of urothelial carcinoma. In Merkel cell carcinoma, TAg and tAg are the major viral proteins of Merkel cell polyomavirus with oncogenic potential.
