Cutaneous Metastasis as an Initial Presentation of Lung Carcinoma: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Cutaneous metastasis as an initial presentation occurs in 0.8% of patients with internal malignancies. Cutaneous metastasis from lung carcinoma is rare and has ominous prognosis. Due to the absence of any pathognomonic appearance, it is usually misdiagnosed as benign lesions. Clinically, lung carcinoma may present first time with cutaneous lesions alone whilst the primary lesion in lung remains quiescent. We present the case of 62 years old male patient who presented with cutaneous metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of lung.
