Since their first description in 1875, Merkel cells have remained an elusive cell type. Their origin as well as their classification as mechanoreceptors have been a matter of controversy and intense discussion. The peptidergic granules in these cells are suggestive of neuroendocrine functions, but t
We have examined a series of 24 Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) DNAs for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at eight loci on chromosome 13. All patients were heterozygous for at least one locus. Overall, 18 of 24 (75%) patients showed LOH, among whom 10 patients demonstrated LOH at all informative loci. A sin
A case of neuroendocrine skin carcinoma (Merkel cell carcinoma) with a deletion of the short arm of chromosome I (I p) as the sole chromosomal abnormality was examined. The tumor originated in the skin of the left knee of a 67-year-old man. Histopathologic study showed an undifferentiated small cell
