The authors did a review of patients with lung neoplasms and cutaneous metatization diagnosed in the period from 1999 to 2004 and followed in the Pneumologic Oncologic department of the Hospital Sousa Martins (H SM). We have analysed the following variables: sex, race, hystologic diagnosis, clinical stage, therapeutics, impact of the appearance of cutaneous metastization and survival time. Five of the 114 patients with lung neoplasms (4.3%), presented with cutaneous metastization, two males and three females with an average age of 69 years. In one of the patients the cutaneous lesions were synchronic, and in the others were metachronic. The most prevalent histologic type was the adenocarcinoma. The average survival time after the cutaneous metastization was 3.8 months. The results are compared with others present in the world literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
