| Research Abstract |
We have experienced ten cases of Merkel cell carcinoma in this period. There were six males and four females, ranging in age 65 to 80 years ( mean and median 75 years).8 of the cases presented on the face, each of two cases, upper extremity and lower extremity.Precursor lesions were not found.On initial treatment, Resection were performed in 8 cases, on the other hand, radiation therapy were performed in two cases. Unfortunately, in all samples of this series, Polyoma virus were undetectable. Also, in situ immune PCR, positive findings could be obtained regardless of many changes of PCR conditions.
