Abstract

Three cases of Merkel-cell carcinoma of the skin have been presented. The need for a correct clinical and histologic diagnosis has been highlighted. Rapid widespread growth of the tumor occurs when surgical treatment is delayed. Immunohistochemistry is essential for accurate differential diagnosis.
