[Merkel cell carcinoma of the nose].
Despite an increasing number of reports Merkel cell carcinoma still is a rare neoplasm. We therefore present the imaging feature of the case of Merkel cell carcinoma involving the nasal region in 65-year woman with lymphoma malignum lymphoplasmocytoides and its rapid progression with fast metastasis to lymph nodes. Surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy appeared to provide optimal local control.
