- W2028860915 abstract "Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an infrequent, highly malignant, primary skin tumor derived from neuroendocrine cells. Most MCCs occur in elderly individuals, on sun-exposed areas of the body, with the head and neck being the most common sites. We present 7 patients (2 male and 5 female, age 45-80 years) suffering from MCC and treated between 1993 and 2000. All tumors were located on the head and neck and varied from 0.9 to 2.3 cm in size. Five of the patients had stage II disease, 1 patient had stage Ia disease and 1 patient had stage III disease. Six of the patients had positive regional lymph nodes. All patients had local excision of the tumor. Six of them also had lymph node dissection and in 5 of them a superficial parotidectomy was performed. Five patients received adjuvant radiotherapy and 3 of them also received chemotherapy. Local and cervical lymph node recurrence was observed in only 1 patient. Metastases occurred in 5 patients. One patient died within 10 days for other reasons. The patient with the stage III tumor had a survival of 7 months. The other 5 patients had survivals varying from 15 to 54 months. MCC is a skin tumor with very poor prognosis and high recurrence and metastatic rates. Its treatment is still under discussion. Radical excision of the tumor is the main method of treatment. Selective lymph node dissection is suggested. Superficial parotidectomy seems necessary, especially if the tumor is on the auricle. Adjuvant radio- and chemotherapy may extend survival in case of small-size tumors." @default.
