    Author: Canales LI, Parker A, Kadakia S.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1992 Oct; 87(10):1464-6. PubMed ID: 1415105.
    Abstract:
    Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare small cell carcinoma of the dermis with aggressive clinical features and frequent local recurrence. Intra-abdominal spread of the cancer has previously been noted primarily in the liver and retroperitoneal nodes. We report a patient with previously diagnosed Merkel cell carcinoma of the right buttock with metastases to the stomach and duodenum presenting with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
