ABSTRACT

Merkel cell tumor is a rare malignant cutaneous neoplasm of neuroendocrine origin. It mainly affects elderly and immunosuppressed individuals. It is gernerally located in photoexposed areas, is normally asymptomatic and of rapid growth. It has a high percentage of recurrences and metastasis, with the most frecuent sites of dissemination being the skin, followed by the regional lymph nodes. Its treatment is still controversial, however, it is recommended multidisciplinary management including surgical excision of primary tumor with adecuate margins and post-operative radiotherapy to control local and regional disease.
