[Merkel cell tumor. A clinical case].
Merkel's tumor cells represent a rare neuroendocrine neoplasia type which belong to an apudomi group but it's different due to the absence of the biogen amine and hormone polypeptide production. The authors report a rare case of Merkel's tumor cells clinically evident with a great neoformation under the left axilla but already represents at the moment of discovery a notable diffusion with repetition as in hepatic and suprarenal gland. Pointing out not only clinic case having arrived at their observance but also it's important to take note of this particular neoplasia and to suspect it in case of doubt interpretation of clinical tumor.
