Primary Merkel Cell Carcinoma Of The Parotid Gland

Abstract

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive neuroendocrine tumor of the skin. This tumor is very rare in the salivary gland. Local
recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis are common in MCC. Here, we presented the primary Merkel cell carcinoma of
the parotid gland

PAROTİD GLANDIN PRİMER MERKEL HÜCRELİ KARSİNOMU

Abstract

Merkel hücreli karsinom (MCC) cildin nadir ve agresif seyirli nöroendokrin tümörüdür. Bu tümör tükrük bezinde ise oldukça nadir görülür. MCC da lokal rekürrens, lenf nodu metastazı ve uzak metastaz sıktır. Biz burada parotid glandın primer Merkel hücreli karsinomunu sunduk.
