Abstract: Merkel cell carcinoma is a neuroendocrine tumor of the skin, originating from neuroendocrine cells. A case report of Merkel cell carcinoma, discovered in a 77-Year-old woman, was diagnosed and confirmed on a biopsy. Diagnostic and therapeutic orientations of this unusual but malignant tumor are described.
