description Merkel-cell-carcinoma of the hand is rare. The Pathological and Immunohistochemical diagnosis helps us to focus the treatment. Immunotherapy has shown beneficial effects in unresectable/advanced/metastatic stages. The quantification of antibodies against Merkel-cell-polyomavirus (MCPyV) can be a useful for prognosis and follow-up. A wide margin in surgery and the sentinel node are the first option with Radiotherapy.
