Overview
Abstract
Merkel-cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin malignancy seen in elderly males. It is a highly aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localized disease with adjuvant radiation depending on the locoregional extent, while chemotherapy has a role in metastatic disease. Emerging data from treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors look promising. We report a case of MCC in an elderly male diagnosed and treated with chemotherapy and radiation, with a review of the literature of this rare malignancy.
