Mollet TW et al. - Cutaneous metastases from the lung, although uncommon, are a very real problem in patients. In men and women with suspicious skin lesions, especially in those who have a smoking or lung cancer history, cutaneous metastasis from the lung should be in the differential diagnosis. They most often present as nodules on the chest wall, abdomen, or head/neck, but they may also present as many other forms and on any cutaneous surface.
