Skin metastases from internal cancers present diversely. This case highlights an unusual lung cancer presentation mimicking rhinophyma, emphasizing the varied clinical appearance of cutaneous metastases.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous metastases represent cancer spread to the skin from internal primary tumors.
  • The clinical presentation of skin metastases is highly variable and can mimic benign conditions.
  • Early recognition is crucial for patient management and prognosis.

Observation:

  • A 71-year-old male patient with known lung cancer presented with a skin lesion.
  • The lesion's appearance was unusual, initially resembling rhinophyma.
  • This presentation differed from typical cutaneous metastases.

Findings:

  • The observed skin lesion was confirmed as a metastasis from the patient's lung carcinoma.
  • This case underscores the diverse and sometimes deceptive clinical manifestations of cutaneous metastases.

  • Review of literature reveals varied presentations of skin metastases from internal malignancies.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider cutaneous metastases in the differential diagnosis of unusual skin lesions, even those mimicking benign conditions.
    • Awareness of varied presentations can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment of internal cancers.
    • Further research into the factors influencing the clinical appearance of skin metastases is warranted.
