Abstract:
Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare tumor of dermal origin generally found in sun exposed skin. We report the case of a woman of 76 years old presenting a large vascularized Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) of the left arm lateral to the elbow joint, infiltrating the muscolo-fascial plane who was treated with surgical therapy and post operative radiotherapy.
