Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the soft tissue in chest wall from an unknown primary site is extremely rare. We report a case with soft tissue metastasis with histology of SCC to chest wall with an incomplete border sign in chest radiography. Chest radiography revealed a radio-opaque lesion in the left lung field. Computed tomography (CT) detected the mass under the musculus pectoralis major invading the left 2nd - 6th ribs with increase in pleural thickness. Careful radiological observations, including chest radiography and CT, may aid the diagnosis and planning of treatments. J Med Cases. 2011;2(1):31-33 doi: https://doi.org/10.4021/jmc115w
