human MCC cases are infected by Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). However, the …

The biological behaviour and prognostic factors of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) in 20 cats
were studied. The tumours were surgically removed and histopathologically examined. The …

The authors herein describe the morphologic and immunohistochemical features of normal
Merkel cells as well as the clinicopathologic findings of Merkel cell carcinoma in cats. Merkel …
