Abstract excerpt

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) has a small cell variant, indistinguishable in hematoxylin-eosin sections from metastatic small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL). To investigate whether intermediate filament expression is helpful in this distinction, 17 MCCs of the small cell type were examined for c...
