Abstract

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an unusual primary cutaneous tumor, occasionally found con-current with other malignancies. A case of MCC with coexisting squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was studied histologically, immunohistochemically and ultrastructurally. The MCC and SCC occured at the same site, but each preserved its identity and transition between the two was not identified.
