ABSTRACT

O carcinoma de Células de Merkel constitui neoplasia cutânea maligna, rara e grave, de origem neuroendócrina, com comprometimento linfonodal em metade dos pacientes e metástases disseminadas em 20 por cento quando do diagnóstico anatomopatológico. Seu tratamento não está completamente estabelecido, entretanto a pesquisa do linfonodo sentinela vem sendo considerada indispensável e pode trazer benefícios na condução terapêutica dos pacientes.


The Merkel cell carcinoma is a rare, serious, neuroendocrine, malignant skin cancer with lymph node involvement in half of patients and disseminated metastases in 20 percent of cases at the time of pathological diagnosis. Its treatment is not fully established, though the sentinel lymph node has been considered essential and may bring benefits to the therapeutic armamentarium of patients.
