Abstract

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine tumor usually presents with disseminated disease. The majority of patients have distant metastases and initial therapeutic management is systemic chemotherapy. SCLC patients almost never survive without treatment and most important factor is than prompt diagnosis of the disease. A case of SCLC with extensive stage disease that was accurately diagnosed via excised skin nodule is presented in this report.

Özet

Küçük hücreli akciğer kanseri (KHAK) nöroendokrin bir tümör olup sıklıkla yaygın hastalık olarak kendini gösterir. Hastaların çoğunda uzak metastaz vardır ve başlangıç tedavisi sistemik kemoterapidir. KHAK olan hastalar tedavi almadan yaşayamazlar ve en önemli faktör hastalığın çabuk tanı almasıdır. Bu yazıda cilt nodülü eksizyonu ile tanı konan yaygın hastalıklı KHAK’ li bir olgu sunulmuştur.
