abstract = {Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC, ICD-O M8247/3) is a rare,
malignant, primary skin tumor with epithelial and
neuroendocrine differentiation. The tumor cells share many
morphologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural
features with cutaneous Merkel cells. Nevertheless, the cell
of origin of MCC is unclear. MCC appears clinically as a
reddish to purple spherical tumor with a smooth, shiny
surface and a soft to turgid, elastic consistency, usually
showing rapid growth. Spontaneous and often complete
regressions of the tumor are observed. These likely
immunologically-mediated regressions explain the cases in
which only lymph node or distant metastases are found at the
time of initial diagnosis and why the tumor responds very
well to immunomodulatory therapies even at advanced stages.
Due to its aggressiveness, the usually given indication for
sentinel lymph node biopsy, the indication of adjuvant
therapies to be evaluated, as well as the complexity of the
necessary diagnostics, clinical management should already be
determined by an interdisciplinary tumor board at the time
of initial diagnosis.},
