#1402 Merkel Cell Carcinoma of Lymph Node Without Skin Primary Can - and Should - Be Distinguished from Others Metastatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma of lymph node without primary tumour (MCCNWP) is a rare tumour which can be misinterpreted as lymph node metastasis (LNM) from a high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) on histological examination. However, this distinction is crucial for therapeutic management.

#1129 Expression and Clinical Significance of Merkel Cell Polyomavirus Large T Antigen in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer that is often associated with Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection. MCPyV expression and its relationship with clinical features and prognosis in MCC remain unclear.

#69 Frequent biological association of Merkel cell polyomavirus with Merkel cell carcinomas

Introduction: Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA has been detected by PCR in 75–100% of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC), an aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer. MCPyV is a 5.4 kb DNA virus that expresses tumor (T) antigen in tumor tissues.
