Abstract:
A fifty seven year old male patient was admitted to our clinic because of complaints of cough and sputum. Computed tomography revealed by a 36x25 mm mass on the lateral of the 7th left rib, a 50x52 mm mass on the right main bronchus, growing 40x34 mm lymph nodes on the carina and paratracheal, 60x42 mm mass on the right adrenal and extensive bone metastasis. Squamous cell carcinoma was diagnosed by performed bronchoscopic biopsy. Scalp dermal biopsy was taken upon detection of extensive lesions on the skin.Scalp biopsy was reported squamous cell carcinoma infiltration.The last time when was given radiotherapy to footwell metastasis, the patient was fever and hypotension, we were accepted intensive care unit. In this article, we aimed to discuss rarely aggressive skin metastasis in a squamous cell carcinoma, a type of lung cancerin the light of current literature data.
