Abstract
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive and uncommon primary cutaneous neuroendocrine cancer. With unknown pathogenesis, immunosuppression, ultraviolet radiation, Merkel cell polyomavirus, and arsenic exposure are the risk factors. Reported here is a rare case of MCC developing on a scar tissue.
Özet
Merkel hücreli karsinom (MHK) agresif ve nadir görülen bir primer kutanöz nöroendokrin kanserdir. Kesin patogenez bilinmemektedir. İmmünosüpresyon, ultraviyole radyasyon, Merkel hücreli polyomavirüs ve arsenik maruziyeti risk faktörleridir. Biz bu olgu sunumunda skar dokusu üzerinde gelişen nadir MHK olgusunu sunuyoruz.
