Abstract EN

This is a new case of Merkel cell carcinoma of the vulva.

It is a rare neuroendocrine carcinoma with an aggressive behavior.

Because of its rarity in this location, it is not clear whether it behaves differently from the usual neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin.

A case of a 63-year-old patient with vulvar Merkel carcinoma is presented.

The clinical presentation, microscopic and immunohistochemical features, and treatment are discussed.
