Merkell cell carcinoma of the gluteal region with ipsilateral metastasis into the pancreatic graft of a patient after combined kidney-pancreal transplantation
Original language description
Background: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare tumour of the skin that predominantly affects elderly of immunocompromised patients. The malignant transformation of Merkel cells is currently considered to be related to an infection with Merkel cell polyomavirus. Conclusion: To our knowledge, we present the first case of MCC associated with metastatic involvement of the transplanted pancreas followed by its subsequent failure. Given the highly aggressive course of the disease in patients after organ transplantation, MCC therapy should be sufficiently aggressive from the time of diagnosis and should not be influenced by attempts to preserve graft funcion.
