| Popis: | Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, although increasingly recognized, malignant tumor of the skin. The most common site of occurrence is the head and neck (50%). Only five cases of this tumor on the auricle have been reported previously. We present a further such case. The incidence, clinical features, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of the Merkel cell carcinoma are discussed. |
