Skin metastasis from small cell lung cancer

Cilt metastazı olan olgularda daima birçok organda yaygın metastazlar bulunmaktadır. Burada, küçük hücreli akciğer kanser (KHAK)'li ve cilt metastazlı nadir görülen bir olgu sunulmaktadır. Hasta platin- bazlı kemoterapi ile tedavi edildi ve tedavi yanıtı, parsiyel yanıt olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalık yavaş seyirli bir progresyon gösterdi ve olgu tanıdan 16 ay sonra kaybedildi. KHAK'li hastalarda tipik olsun olmasın deri lezyonları saptandığında, biyopsi düşünülmelidir. En sık tutulum bölgesi gövde olmasına rağmen, KHAK'li hastalarda böyle lezyonlar görüldüğünde şüphelenilmesi önemlidir.

Küçük hücreli akciğer kanseri, cilt metastazı

Patients with skin metastasis always had disseminated metastases in many organs. We herein report an unusual case with skin metastasis from small cell lung cancer (SCLC). The patient was treated with platinum-containing chemotherapy, and the response to the therapy was evaluated as partial response. The patient had slowly progressive disease and died of SCLC 16 months after the diagnosis of the diseases. If skin lesions, whether it may be typical or not, are found in SCLC patients, biopsy from the lesion would be considered to perform. Although trunk may be the most common sites, it is important to suspect such metastasis occurs in patients with SCLC.
