Abstract
A case of Merkel cell carcinoma showing epidermotropism is presented. The neoplastic cells displayed dotlike immunoreactivity for cytokeratins and strong immunoreactivity for neuron-specific enolase. Although no neuroendocrine granules were found, characteristic paranuclear fibrous bodies were present.Keywords
