Merkel cells neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin is difficult to classify from the histogenetic point of view. In the past it seemed to be part of the apudomas, however further histochemical and ultrastructural studies seemed to deny this hypothesis. The authors report the case of a patient affected by this rare type of carcinoma and discuss the evolution of the clinical picture and the difficult diagnostic classification.

Abstract
Merkel cells neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin is difficult to classify from the histogenetic point of view. In the past it seemed to be part of the apudomas, however further histochemical and ultrastructural studies seemed to deny this hypothesis. The authors report the case of a patient affected by this rare type of carcinoma and discuss the evolution of the clinical picture and the difficult diagnostic classification.File in questo prodotto:
