Primary small cell cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma (Merkel cell carcinoma) is an uncommon, highly malignant, primary cutaneous neuroendocrine carcinoma. Clinically it is seen as a 0.5- to 5.0-cm pinkish purple papule or nodule, usually not ulcerated, on the head, neck, or, less frequently, the roots of the limbs.
