Overview
Mercell cell carcinoma is classified into 3 subgroups: trabecular, intermediate, and small cell.
Classification
Histologically, MCC has been classified into three distinct subtypes:[1]
- Trabecular: classic pattern, large-cell type, high density or granules on ultrasound examination.
- Intermediate: solid pattern (most common).
- Small cell: diffuse, few high density granules on ultrasound examination (second most common).
