Abstract:
Merkel cell carcinoma is a relatively rare neoplasm of the skin. The present study describes three cases of Merkel cell carcinoma diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration cytology and reviews their histologic, cytologic, and ultrastructural features. The advantages of using fine-needle aspiration to diagnose Merkel cell carcinoma (and other cutaneous neoplasms) are emphasized.
