Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin is an uncommon, small-cell neoplasm most commonly found on white, sun-exposed skin. Diagnosis by clinical and histologic means may be difficult. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis are often required. Because of the aggressive nature of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin, prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential.

Clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features are reviewed, and therapeutic options are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
