| Core Tip |
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon but highly aggressive skin cancer with neuroendocrine features. Its incidence and mortality are increasing. We describe an elderly patient with a 2-year history of metastatic MCC, with no apparent cutaneous lesion at diagnosis, who presented with uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypokalemia. A diagnosis of ectopic Cushing syndrome was established. The occurrence of ectopic Cushing syndrome in patients with neuroendocrine tumor is a major cause of poor prognosis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of ectopic Cushing syndrome linked to the rapid progression of a metastatic MCC. |
