Bronchogenic carcinoma metastasizing to the heart and penis. A case report

Metastasis to the heart and penis from a primary bronchial carcinoma is rare in almost all histological groups of cancer. Bronchial carcinoma is known to give rise to widespread haematogenous metastases, but there are certain sites where these metastases are more likely to occur--bones, brain, liver and adrenal glands. A case is reported in which undifferentiated squamous carcinoma of the bronchus spread to two extremely uncommon sites, the heart and the penis.
