Abstract
Cutaneous metastases of lung tumors are occurring in 1-12% of cases. High prevalence of lung cancer increases the likelihood of finding these changes in clinical practice. They are usually in the form of a firm, mobile and painless nodule on the head, neck and chest, and their appearance is a sign of advanced disease. Cutaneous metastases are rarely the first sign of malignancy. A 62-year-old patient presented to her doctor a fast-growing nodule on the forehead. Extirpation of the nodule and further diagnosis showed that it was a metastasis of small cell lung cancer localized in the right lung with extensive metastases to the contralateral lung, liver and spine. Cutaneous metastases may be the first sign of malignancy or the first sign of progression of already diagnosed malignancy. A diagnosis of metastatic disease should be considered in patients with risk factors or a known cancer. The presence of a skin metastasis in a patient with a lung cancer indicates poor prognosis.

Extrathoracic computed tomography scan (CT) revealed a right, near carina, soft tismetastases are present at autopsy in 95% of Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), they can occur in sue mass of 35x20 mm that could not be distinguished from the right all organs and tissues, mainly in the central nervous system [5], where third bronchopulmonary segment atelectasis and mediastinal lymphadethe signs are headache, vomiting and neurological disturbances, bone nopathy (Figure 2A)
All tumors with potential to disseminate in lung, a spiculated soft tissue with density of 26x19mm was determined a number of organs may metastasize in the skin, majority of cutaneous (Figure 2B) and in the ninth bronchopulmonary segment of the left lung, metastases in men are from lung cancers and they are in the second a lobular mass of 23x20 mm was detected (Figure 3A)
Summary
