Lung cancer ranks among the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. Once vascular or lymphatic invasions occur, metastatic dissemination to distant sites is common. Bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease. In this study we present a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung with metastasis of the left knee bursa.
A smoker man presented with cough and hemoptysis and squamous cell carcinoma of lung was diagnosed. Fourteen months later he developed pain and swelling of left knee. The biopsy and pathologic examination of the left knee bursa showed involvement of the bursa.
Squamous cell carcinoma of lung can metastasize in the unusual sites of the body.
肺癌是全球最常见且最致命的恶性肿瘤之一。一旦发生血管或淋巴侵犯，远处转移播散很常见。骨、肝、肾上腺和脑是远处转移最常见的部位。在本研究中，我们报告一例肺鳞状细胞癌伴左膝滑囊转移的病例。
一名吸烟男性因咳嗽和咯血就诊，被诊断为肺鳞状细胞癌。14个月后，他出现左膝疼痛和肿胀。左膝滑囊活检及病理检查显示滑囊受累。
肺鳞状细胞癌可转移至身体不常见的部位。
