    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon cutaneous malignancy.
    • The Merkel cell is the suspected cell of origin for this cancer.
    • Historically, reports of MCC have been infrequent.

    Observation:

    • This study reviews existing literature on Merkel cell carcinoma.
    • A specific case report details a primary MCC on the lower leg.

    Findings:

    • The review consolidates current knowledge regarding MCC.
    • The case report highlights the occurrence of MCC in a lower extremity location.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness and understanding of this rare skin cancer.
    • Potential for improved diagnostic and treatment strategies for MCC.
    • Further research into the etiology and behavior of Merkel cell carcinoma.
