摘要
We are reporting on a 72-year-old male who was diagnosed with Merkel cell carcinoma on the dorsal aspect of his left index finger. This rare highly aggressive malignancy of the skin has only exceptionally been described on the finger or hand. This case report helps review important findings associated with this rare malignancy and reviews the pertinent literature. (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
