Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin with unpredictable evolution and high metastatic potential. This neoplasm usually occurs in the elderly on their sun-exposed areas. CCM constant greed for 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) defines the role of positron emission tomography (PET) in this pathology. However, no consensus has yet been reached. This study reports the case of a 25 year old woman treated for metastatic MCC, in order to draw attention to this particular tumor and to illustrate the role of 18 FDG PET in the management of this rare entity.
默克尔细胞癌(MCC)是一种罕见的皮肤神经内分泌癌,其发展不可预测且具有高转移潜能。这种肿瘤通常发生在老年人的阳光暴露部位。CCM对18氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)的持续摄取决定了正电子发射断层扫描(PET)在这种病理中的作用。然而,尚未达成共识。本研究报告了一名25岁转移性MCC女性患者的病例,以引起对这种特殊肿瘤的关注,并说明18 FDG PET在这种罕见疾病管理中的作用。
