Cutaneous metastases from lung cancer are uncommon; they can be the presenting sign of an unknown malignancy.
We present a 53-year-old man with a presternal mass that proved to be a cutaneous metastasis revealing an underlying lung adenocarcinoma. We searched the relevant literature and present a review of the main clinical and pathological features of this type of cutaneous metastasis.
