Abstract Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an uncommon, highly aggressive cutaneous neoplasm of neuroendocrine differentiation with a poor prognosis. MCC most often presents as a painless, firm, raised lesion in sun-exposed sites of the head and neck region of the elderly. We report a case of a metastatic MCC to the stomach presenting as upper gastrointestinal bleeding. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of MCC presenting as upper gastrointestinal bleeding and the first case confirmed by the newer immunohistochemical techniques. The literature is reviewed.

Upper Gastrointestinal

Approximately 340 patients are diagnosed with renal cell cancer (RCC) in Ireland each year. Metastatic spread to the lung, lymph nodes and bones is common. Metastatic spread to the gastrointestinal tract, including the small bowel, is a rare phenomenon. Therapeutic advances have led to an improved overall survival in RCC and, as a result, unusual sites of metastatic spread are becoming more common. We present the case of a 68-year-old gentleman presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of metastases to the duodenum from renal cell carcinoma.
