- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 73-year old man who has a history of multiple actinic keratoses treated with cryotherapy, but no history of skin cancer. It says that the patient has developed a new and tender red nodule on his posterior right arm two months after his skin examination. It adds that a 2.2 centimeter (cm) merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) with focal necrosis and positive margins with evidence of vascular invasion is reported in the pathology.
