CUTANEOUS SCC: METASTASES WITH A PREDILECTION FOR LUNGS 6 YEARS AFTER EXCISION OF THE PRIMARY TUMOUR

Abstract

SUMMARY An 80‐year‐old woman developed an ulcerated, moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on the lower leg. Despite local excision and radiotherapy, the patient presented 6 years later with multiple lung metastases which were histologically indistinguishable from the original skin tumour. There was no evidence of metastases to lymph nodes or other viscera.
