Gastric metastasis of merkel cell cancer--uncommon complication of a rare neoplasm.

N Gaurav Syal, Shyam Dang, James Rose, Chien Chen, Farshad Aduli.   

Abstract

Merkel cell cancer is an aggressive cutaneous malignancy of neuroendocrine cell lineage which carries a poor prognosis. It usually affects elderly Caucasians and presents as a firm, painless, nodular lesion on the sun exposed areas of the body. Though it is highly metastatic, metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract is rarely reported. We describe a case of gastric metastasis from merkel cell cancer presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. To our knowledge, only 8 such cases have been reported in English literature so far.
