Abstract

While performing an electron microscopic examination of the skin for diagnostic purposes, we observed a cluster of cells with dense-core membrane-bound granules in the external root sheath of a hair follicle. The finding of Merkel cells in hair follicle could help to explain some histogenetic features of neuroendocrine tumors of the skin.
