Abstract

Merkel-cell carcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive skin cancer. It is characterized by a variety of histological subtypes and features that cause difficulties in morphological diagnosis. Estimation of Merkel-cell carcinoma prognosis is one of the priorities. Histological, immunohistochemical and clinical characteristics of the tumor are prognostic factors in Merkel-cell carcinoma.
