“…The main histological type found was adenocarcinoma, which is also the most prevalent subtype of lung cancer worldwide [9][10][11] , followed by squamous cell carcinoma. Concerning the location of primary lung cancer, no predominance in the upper lobes without considering the middle lobe 'as part of' the right upper part of the lung was found; however, there was a predominance of the right-side 12 .…”

METHODS Study design and subjectsThe main objective of this study is to evaluate the survival of patients with cutaneous metastases caused by lung cancer, as confirmed by skin biopsy.As secondary objectives, the prevalence of cutaneous metastases in the lung cancer population, the population characteristics, based on age, gender, smoking history, histology of primary tumor, staging, location, type and number of skin lesions, extracutaneous metastases, and identification of risk factors, were analyzed.The patients included were adults (aged ≥18 years), with lung cancer and a skin lesion confirmed histologically to be a cutaneous metastasis. Patients with suspicious cutaneous lesions without a skin biopsy, were excluded. MethodsA retrospective study was conducted with patients diagnosed with lung cancer and cutaneous metastases, from January

“…Second, lung carcinoma (the first cause of metastatic lesions in males over 40 years of age) may manifest earlier in the metastatic setting before the primary tumour is diagnosed, an aspect emphasised in one study [4]. In terms of histotype, approximately 50% of the cases originate from non-small cell carcinomas, whereas 30% of the cases originate from small-cell lung carcinomas [5]. On the other hand, various other organs can be the origin of cutaneous metastases, such as the gastrointestinal system (colorectal, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, esophagus and oral cavity).…”

Skin metastases occur in 0.6%-10.4% of all patients with cancer and represent 2% of all skin tumors. Skin metastases from visceral malignancies are important for dermatologists and dermatopathologists because of their variable clinical appearance and presentation, frequent delay and failure in their diagnosis, relative proportion of different internal malignancies metastasizing to the skin, and impact on morbidity, prognosis, and treatment. Another factor to take into account is that cutaneous metastasis may be the first sign of clinically silent visceral cancer. The relative frequencies of metastatic skin disease tend to correlate with the frequency of the different types of primary cancer in each sex. Thus, women with skin metastases have the following distribution in decreasing order of frequency of primary malignancies: breast, ovary, oral cavity, lung, and large intestine. In men, the distribution is as follows: lung, large intestine, oral cavity, kidney, breast, esophagus, pancreas, stomach, and liver. A wide morphologic spectrum of clinical appearances has been described in cutaneous metastases. This variable clinical morphology included nodules, papules, plaques, tumors, and ulcers. From a histopathologic point of view, there are 4 main morphologic patterns of cutaneous metastases involving the dermis, namely, nodular, infiltrative, diffuse, and intravascular. Generally, cutaneous metastases herald a poor prognosis. The average survival time of patients with skin metastases is a few months. In this article, we review the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical characteristics of cutaneous metastases from internal malignancies, classify the most common cutaneous metastases, and identify studies that may assist in diagnosing the origin of a cutaneous metastasis.
