Abstract:
We report a case of recurrent Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) of the upper extremity, treated aggressively with wide local excision, regional lymphadenectomy, and immediate reconstruction. Five years after surgery, there is no clinical or diagnostic evidence of locoregional recurrence or distant disease. The patient's upper extremity and hand remain fully functional, without evidence of median or ulnar nerve dysfunction. No donor site morbidity has been noted.
