  • Title: [Merkel cell tumor of the hand in a 104-year-old patient. Case report with review of the literature].
    Author: Sonak RA, Trede K, Gerharz CD.
    Journal: Handchir Mikrochir Plast Chir; 1996 Jan; 28(1):43-5. PubMed ID: 8852641.
    Abstract:
    Merkel cell tumors represent a rare subepidermal tumor of the skin. Despite the high tumor-mitosis-rate, the survival rate is rather high. This characterizes the biologic behavior of these tumors. We report on a 104-year-old female patient who presented with a histologically proven Merkel cell tumor of the finger existing over a period of more than 15 years. Based on our case report, the specific behavior of these tumors is documented. The pertinent literature is discussed.
