We treated a patient who had clinical and pathological findings of a primary cutaneous tumor of the eyelid with histological and ultrastructural features of a Merkel cell carcinoma. This neoplasm is composed of cells that are thought to be derived from the neural crest and are found normally in the skin. While it may be a low-grade malignant neoplasm, this tumor can grow rapidly and metastasize. Histologically, it can mimic a metastatic undifferentiated small-cell carcinoma from the lung or other primary sites. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case involving an eyelid.
我们治疗了一名患者，其眼睑原发性皮肤肿瘤的临床和病理表现具有默克尔细胞癌的组织学和超微结构特征。这种肿瘤由被认为源自神经嵴且正常情况下存在于皮肤中的细胞组成。虽然它可能是一种低级别恶性肿瘤，但该肿瘤可迅速生长并发生转移。在组织学上，它可模仿来自肺部或其他原发部位的转移性未分化小细胞癌。据我们所知，这是首例涉及眼睑的报道病例。
