“…Even with the widespread use of EUS‐FNA, there are only five cases of pancreatic MCC metastases diagnosed pre‐operatively reported so far . A percutaneous biopsy confirmed the diagnosis in additional two reports . Recent discoveries regarding the pathobiology of MCC and the possible connection with Merkel cell polyomavirus, opens various possibilities for targeted therapies .…”

Increasing incidence of MCC warrants the inclusion of MCC in the differential diagnosis of tumours of small round blue cell morphology even in unusual sites. The cytomorphological features coupled with an ICC panel are usually enough to make a confident diagnosis of MCC. EUS-FNA is a minimally invasive technique which enables sampling adequate tissue for all the ancillary methods eventually needed to support the diagnosis.
