Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare poorly differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, usually located in sun-exposed skin, with\naggressive behavior and with high recurrence risk and metastatic disease. In Latin America, case series have been published, and it\ndoes not exceed 32 patients in 10 years, and in Colombia, there are case reports. We present a descriptive retrospective crosssectional\nstudy in patients diagnosed with MCC in the Department of Pathology and Laboratories at the University Hospital\nFundaci´on Santa Fe de Bogot´a(FSFB) between January 2003 and December 2018. We present the demographic, clinical, and\npathological variables of these patients, as well as a literature review.
