MCC clinically represents as cutaneous or subcutaneous nodule, and in 30% of the cases loco-regional metastasis are already there in primary diagnosis. Pathogenesis is essentially due to excessive exposure to UV light. The confirmation diagnosis is based on histological and immunological features on the lesion.
