Cutaneous metastases are an uncommon phenomenon that occurs in a few patients with metastatic disease. Early recognition of a cutaneous metastasis is important as it may be the presenting sign of an underlying malignancy. These metastases usually indicate advanced disease and carry a poor prognosis.
Objectives:
We present two cases with cutaneous metastasis from primary non-small cell lung cancer. We seek to familiarize dermatologists with the unusual presentations of cutaneous metastases.
Conclusion:
In our two cases, the diagnosis of the metastatic cutaneous lesion ultimately led to the correct diagnosis of an underlying malignancy.
