Bronchogenic carcinoma with subcutaneous metastasis is rare, and the incidence ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 %. Therefore metastatic nodules are incidental findings in some instances. The distribution in order of frequency Is as follows: chest wall, scapular region, abdominal wall, course of spine, upper extremities and scalp etc, and mos. of nodules are between 0.5-2.0 cm in diameter. In this report, we present one case of a 54 year old male having bronchogenic carcinoma (squamous cell type) with multiple subcutaneous metastases. The metastatic nodules were located in subcutaneous tissue of right posterior chest wall ($4{\times}5$ cm), frontal scalp area (two; $2{\times}3$ cm, $0.5{\times}0.5$ cm), left scapular region ($1{\times}1$ cm) and left iliac crest ara ($1{\times}11$ cm).
