Abstract

Merkel cell carcinoma, also known as small cell carcinoma of the skin, is a malignant cutaneous neuroendocrin tumor. The diagnosis of this tumor is rare but it has high tendency for local recurrence, regional lymph node and distant metastases and also has a high mortality rate. For these reasons, immunohistochemical studies are necessary for making a definitive diagnosis and also for excluding a diagnosis. In this publication, we discuss a case of mixed Merkel cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in the context of the contemporary literature.

Özet

Merkel hücreli karsinom derinin küçük hücreli karsinomuolarak da bilinen malign kutanöz nöroendokrin bir tümördür. Seyrek tanı alan bu kanserin yüksek lokal nüks, bölgesel lenf nodu metastazı ve uzak metastaz eğilimi yanı sıra mortalite oranı da yüksektir. Bu sebeplerden dolayıimmünohistokimyasal çalışmalar ile kesin olarak tanın-ması veya tanının dışlanması gereklidir. Bu yazıda nadirgörülmesi nedeniyle mikst Merkel hücreli karsinom veskuamöz hücreli karsinom tanılı olgu güncel literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.
