Bronchogenic cancer can metastasize to several organs of the body. Metastases to skin and subcutaneous tissue are uncommon. We present our experience with the management of a patient with an unusual presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma with multiple skin nodules. In patients with bronchogenic cancer, metastasis to the skin and subcutaneous tissues could heighten the index of suspicion of advanced disease. The nodules should be histologically assessed and if confirmed metastatic, only palliative therapies are indicated.
支气管源性癌可转移至身体的多个器官。转移至皮肤和皮下组织并不常见。我们介绍了我们对一名表现不寻常的支气管源性癌伴多发皮肤结节患者的治疗经验。在支气管源性癌患者中,转移至皮肤和皮下组织可能会提高对晚期疾病的怀疑指数。应对结节进行组织学评估,若确诊为转移性结节,则仅需采取姑息性治疗。
