Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a malignant neuroendocrine carcinoma originating in the skin. It is typically aggressive with a tendency to recur locally and metastasise. There have been several case reports about spontaneous regression of MCC over the past years, but to the best of our knowledge this is the first case of a regional lymph node metastasised MCC with complete spontaneous regression and recurrence. In addition, the primary tumour has an unusual localisation on the foot.
默克尔细胞癌(MCC)是一种起源于皮肤的恶性神经内分泌癌。它通常具有侵袭性,有局部复发和转移的倾向。在过去几年中有几例关于MCC自发消退的病例报告,但据我们所知,这是首例区域淋巴结转移的MCC完全自发消退并复发的病例。此外,原发性肿瘤在足部有不寻常的定位。
