Merkel Cell Carcinoma Of The Eyelid

IMAJ 2016; 18: 126–128 deeply violaceous color, and rarely, an ulcer. Investigators have used the acronym AEIOU to summarize this tumor entity as Asymptomatic, Expanding rapidly, and more likely to occur in Immunosuppressed patients older than 50 years in Ultravioletexposed skin [1]. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are applied in variable sequences in a stage-dependent manner. We report two cases of eyelid MCC in elderly patients who were misdiagnosed as having chalazion.
