Abstract
CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old woman presented with a large rapidly growing violaceous mass initially diagnosed as a chalazion. Histopathologic examination disclosed Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC). Radiotherapy was not tolerated. Despite chemotherapy, she succumbed to widespread metastases 13 months later. COMMENTS: MCC must be included in the differential diagnosis of solitary eyelid nodules, requiring early and aggressive treatment.Entities:
