Background & Aim: Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, very aggressive malignancy of the skin with a poor prognosis. It is typically located on sun-exposed skin.
Materials & Methods Herein, we report a 104 - year - old male with a painful, ordinary
skin lesion on nose that enlarged rapidly. Total excision was done. Pathologic findings confirmed diagnosis of Merkel cell carcinoma by immunohistochemistry analysis and rule out other lesions.
Results: This case report and literature review demonstrate the clinical and histopathologic aspects of
MCC, which will help in recognizing and treating these tumors early.
