Recurrent atypical fibroxanthoma with satellite metastasis.

Atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) is a cutaneous neoplasm of uncertain etiology that develops on sun-exposed regions of elderly males. It is widely considered to act indolently, despite its highly malignant cytologic features. Reports of metastatic AFX are very rare, and recurrence is uncommon.

Intraoperative imprint cytology for evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes from Merkel cell carcinoma.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive cutaneous malignancy. Intraoperative imprint cytology (IIC) can potentially avoid second operations for completion lymphadenectomy when nodal metastases are found during nodal staging with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLN). This represents the first series of IIC for MCC we are aware of and our initial experience.
