| Abstrakt: | Abstract: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive type of metastatic, nonmelanoma skin cancer derived from Merkel cells in the epidermis. MCC can be induced by sun exposure or via Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) gene expression. MCV is found in most patients with MCC and is associated with a lower recurrence rate of MCC. MCC has a wide range of clinical presentations that make diagnosis challenging. Histologic examination is performed using unique markers to differentiate it from other diagnoses. This article reviews the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, histopathology, differential diagnosis, and treatment of MCC. (Copyright © 2023 American Academy of Physician Associates.) |
