Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare neuroendocrine malignancy of the skin that is highly aggressive and often metastasizes early. MCC is diagnosed based on histopathological findings and is most commonly treated with surgical resection, which may be accompanied by chemotherapy and/or radiation. This report describes a 55-year-old male patient with the history of recurrent malignant melanoma of the right pinna and subsequent excision. Three years following the excision of melanoma, he presented with a lesion to the right forehead as well as a right-sided neck mass that were found to be metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma.
默克尔细胞癌（MCC）是一种罕见的皮肤神经内分泌恶性肿瘤，具有高度侵袭性，且常早期发生转移。MCC依据组织病理学检查结果进行诊断，最常用手术切除治疗，可能还会辅以化疗和/或放疗。本报告描述了一名55岁男性患者，有右耳廓复发性恶性黑色素瘤病史并随后接受了切除手术。黑色素瘤切除术后三年，他右侧前额出现一处病灶以及右侧颈部肿块，经检查发现为转移性默克尔细胞癌。
