description Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous growth with aggressive nature. It mostly affects on the head and neck of white men aged 65 years old and immunosuppressed patients. Limited cases were reported in Asian patients. Loco-regional metastases with the regional lymph nodes involvement were common.
