Abstract

Lung cancer is one of high mortality malignancy. It is known that skin metastasis from lung cancer is uncommon. We report a very rare case of finger tip metastasis from double primary cancer of the lung and lower lip. A 79 year-old man diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer presented with protruding solid mass in his lower lip. It showed central necrosis with purulent discharge. It had appeared rapidly growing features. Simultaneously, another solid mass accompanying painful swelling without skin lesion was found in his left middle finger tip. Both two solid masses were moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinomas. Lower lip mass was a primary cancer, while middle finger tip mass was diagnosed with clinically metastatic cancer from lung or lower lip, which means that it had double primary cancer origin.
