Abstract:
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant tumor of the skin. The development of MCC on non-sun-exposed skin is extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. The present authors aimed to highlight the characteristic features and treatment options of this tumor. The present authors present a 50-year-old man who developed MCC on the left gluteal region (non-sun-exposed skin). After surgery with clear margins, adjuvant radiotherapy was given. Three months after radiotherapy, lymphatic recurrence was observed and he was treated with chemotherapy. On follow-up, systemic metastases were found and palliative treatment was planned.
