Abstract
To our knowledge this is the first reported case of concurrent Merkel cell (trabecular carcinoma) tumor and peripheral pulmonary carcinoid tumor. Both tumors are considered to neuroendocrine in nature. The significance of concurrent neuroendocrine tumors is described with respect to multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome variants and possible pathophysiology.
