A 60-year old Chinese man presented with a one-month history of a right groin mass associated with right lower limb swelling. Ultrasound identified multiple right groin lymph nodes (LNs) at sizes up to 4 cm, and a PET-CT scan showed multiple right inguinal LNs up to 1.6 cm with SUVmax at 7.7, and multiple enlarged matted LNs over right pelvis and para-aortic regions up to 7.3 cm with SUVmax at 11.4, but without visceral metastases. Excisional biopsy was performed which confirmed the diagnosis of MCC.
