  • Title: [Merkel cell carcinoma. A rare differential keratoacanthoma diagnosis].
    Author: Schwab JA, Rose C.
    Journal: HNO; 1997 May; 45(5):398-400. PubMed ID: 9265025.
    Abstract:
    A 90 year old woman presented with a rapidly growing nodular tumor at the tip of the nose. Clinically, keratoakanthoma was tentatively diagnosed. Histological examination, however, revealed Merkel cell carcinoma. This case supports the necessity of a surgical excision with a subsequent histological examination even when the clinical aspect is suggestive for keratoacanthoma.
