Core Tip Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer often misdiagnosed owing to its non-specific presentation. This case report details the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of MCC in the nasal dorsum of a patient with diabetes and hypertension. Emphasizing multidisciplinary collaboration, it highlights the role of advanced imaging, histopathological analysis, and tailored treatment strategies. By sharing insights from a unique clinical scenario, this report adds to the growing body of literature on MCC and underscores the importance of early recognition and comprehensive care in managing atypical presentations of this malignancy.
