RESUMEN

Introducción:

El carcinoma de células de Merkel (MCC) es un tumor cutáneo maligno agresivo y de mal pronóstico. La incidencia es mayor en adultos hombres, caucásicos, con edad promedio de 70 años. Feng et al, lograron aislar un nuevo virus en muestras de este tumor, que denominaron virus polioma de células de Merkel (MCPyV). Se ha intentado establecer una relación causal entre el virus y MCC. El virus está integrado al genoma y produciría mutaciones específicas. En muestras de MCC, se ha detectado expresión de oncoproteinas virales (antígenos T) que promueven la replicación viral y tumorogénesis
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive malignant cutaneous tumor with poor prognosis. Most cases affect elder patient with an average of 70 years of age. Feng et al isolated a new virus, the Merkel cell carcinoma polyoma virus (MCPyV). A causal relationship between MCPyV y MCC has been established. The virus is integrated in the genome and pro-duces specific mutations. MCC samples show ex-pression of viral oncoproteins (T antigens) that promote viral replication and tumorogenesis.
