Cytokeratin and neurofilament protein staining in Merkel cell carcinoma of the small cell type and small cell carcinoma of the lung.

The American Journal of dermatopathology - 1 Aug 1998

Schmidt U, Müller U, Metz K A, Leder L D

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 cytokeratin, as well as neurofilament protein immunostaining, and compared with 59 intermediate-type MCCs and 22 SCCL....
