Haematogenous skeletal muscle metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are rare, and are even more uncommonly observed bilaterally. Usually, NSCLC metastasizes to the liver, adrenal glands, lung, bone, central nervous system and kidney. We report a case of a long-surviving patient with contemporaneous histologically proven bilateral muscle metastases in the right and left forearm triceps, from adenocarcinoma of the lung.
