Abstract
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant cutaneous tumor of the elderly that is characterized by an aggressive course with regional nodal involvement, distant metastases and a high rate of recurrence. It is a very rare tumor with an annual incidence of approximately 0.42 per 100,000. We describe two patients of Merkel cell carcinoma presented to us. Both patients were treated by surgery and chemotherapy. The response to treatment was very different in both the patients. The final outcome however has been very unsatisfactory in both patients.
