It mostly affects on the head and neck of white men aged 65 years old and immunosuppressed patients. Limited cases were reported in Asian patients. Loco-regional metastases with the regional lymph nodes involvement were common. The treatment methods include complete surgical excision and radiotherapy. Topical imiquimod and biologics are promising therapies. Here, we present a case of MCC occurring in a 76-year-old Chinese woman.Keywords: Merkel cell carcinoma, skin cancer, carcinoma
