Abstract

Skin is one of the rare areas of the metastasis of malig­nancies and metastasis of the lung cancer extremely rare. Although it can be seen in all areas, it usually develops in areas close to the main tumor. Cutaneous metastasis as it may be the first sign of the lung cancer; it can occur in the follow up and is associated with poor prognosis. Skin metastasis of lung cancer is not owner a characteristic view but is seen mostly in the nodular type. Herein, we presented an eighty-two-year-old patient with lung carci­noma who developed ulcerated skin lesions at the lower extremity that did not respond to the nonspecific antibiotic therapy and squamous cell cancer metastasis was deter­mined from excisional biopsy specimen that was obtained from these areas.

Özet

Cilt iç organ tümörlerinin metastaz yaptığı nadir alanlar arasında yer alır ve akciğer kanserinde de cilt metastazı nadiren görülür. Her alanda görülebilmekle birlikte genellikle tümöre yakın bölgelerde gelişir. Cilt metastazı akciğer kanserinde hastalığın ilk belirtisi olabileceği gibi takipte de ortaya çıkabilir ve genellikle kötü prognoz ile ilişkilidir. Akciğer kanserine bağlı cilt metastazı için karakteristik bir görünüm yoktur ancak çoğunlukla nodüler tipte lezyonlar görülmektedir. Bu makalede seksen iki yaşında alt ekstremitede nonspesifik antibiyotik tedavisine yanıt vermeyen ülsere cilt lezyonu gelişen ve bu alandan elde edilen eksizyonel biyopsi örneğinde skuamöz hücreli kanser metastazı saptanan akciğer karsinom olgusu sunulmuştur.
