A 62-year-old woman presented with a large rapidly growing violaceous mass initially diagnosed as a chalazion. Histopathologic examination disclosed Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Radiotherapy was not tolerated. Despite chemotherapy, she succumbed to widespread metastases 13 months later.
MCC must be included in the differential diagnosis of solitary eyelid nodules, requiring early and aggressive treatment.
一名62岁女性出现一个迅速增大的紫色肿块,最初被诊断为睑板腺囊肿。组织病理学检查显示为默克尔细胞癌(MCC)。患者无法耐受放疗。尽管进行了化疗,但13个月后她还是死于广泛转移。
MCC必须纳入孤立性眼睑结节的鉴别诊断中,需要早期积极治疗。
