Lung cancer is one of the most common types of malignancy in the world associated with poor prognosis and an overall five-year survival rate of around 15%. Frequent sites of metastasis are the liver, brain, adrenal glands, hilar nodes, and bone. Metastasis to the skin is uncommon with an occurrence rate of 0.7%-9%. We report here an interesting case of an elderly woman who presented with a rapidly growing, substantially large fungating neck lump that turned out to be a cutaneous metastasis neck secondary to squamous cell carcinoma of the lungs.
