  • Title: [Merkel cell carcinoma (trabecular carcinoma) of the skin].
    Author: Zala L, Armagni C, Krebs A.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1983 Apr; 34(4):164-7. PubMed ID: 6853165.
    Abstract:
    The Merkel cell carcinoma was first designated some years ago by the descriptive term trabecular carcinoma. Both names refer to a skin tumor occurring in elderly patients. This is another example where ultrastructural differentiating criteria are necessary for a definite diagnosis i.e., identification of so-called neurosecretory-like granules by electron microscopy. We report clinical, histological, ultrastructural, and histogenetic aspects of such a disease in a woman suffering from a metastasizing Merkel cell carcinoma.
