摘要

摘要梅克尔细胞癌（MCC）是一种极为罕见的侵袭性肿瘤。本文报告了一名42岁男性的梅克尔细胞癌，其表现为右侧眶前窝皮肤突然增大、疼痛，并伪装成表皮囊肿。该病灶经手术切除，并进行了组织病理学和免疫组化检查。随后的分析结果确诊为 MCC。临床医生应时刻警惕 MCC，因为它很容易被误诊。早期诊断和适当治疗是提高 MCC 患者生存率的关键。

Merkel Cell Carcinoma Masquerading Clinically as a Cyst in a Young Patient

Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an extremely rare and aggressive tumor. Here we report an unusual MCC that manifested as an abruptly enlarging, painful skin lesion over the right antecubital fossa and masqueraded as an epidermal cyst in a 42-year-old male. The lesion was surgically excised and subjected to histopathologic and immunohistochemical examinations. The subsequent analysis allowed for the diagnosis of MCC. Clinicians should always be cognizant of MCC, which can be easily misdiagnosed. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are keys to improving the survival rates of MCC patients.
