An 89-year-old female with a two-year history of a growing tumor of the skin on her left thigh was subjected to fine needle aspiration. Cytologic examination of the aspirate revealed a small-cell carcinoma, and a Merkel-cell carcinoma was suggested. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic and electron microscopic analysis of the removed tumor. The cytologic findings are presented and correlated with the light and electron microscopic pictures of the operative specimen.
