Aberrant positivity for BCOR immunohistochemistry in merkel cell carcinoma - a potential diagnostic pitfall
This study demonstrates that neuroendocrine neoplasms, such as MCC and SCLC can express strong aberrant BCOR. This might represent a diagnostic challenge or pitfall, in particular when MCC is clinically mistaken as a soft tissue or a bone sarcoma.
