ADVANCED BRONCHOGENIC CARCINOMA PRESENTING WITH SKIN NODULES - A CASE REPORT

J West Afr Coll Surg. 2018 Jan-Mar;8(1):62-70.

Abstract

Bronchogenic cancer can metastasize to several organs of the body. Metastases to skin and subcutaneous tissue are uncommon. We present our experience with the management of a patient with an unusual presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma with multiple skin nodules. In patients with bronchogenic cancer, metastasis to the skin and subcutaneous tissues could heighten the index of suspicion of advanced disease. The nodules should be histologically assessed and if confirmed metastatic, only palliative therapies are indicated.
