“…13,14 Several cases has been described originated from lung carcinoma, including anaplastic large cell carcinoma and small cell carcinoma. [15][16][17][18] Squamous lung cell carcinoma with nasal tip metastasis have also been reported. 16,[19][20][21] Although cutaneous metastatic lesions to the nasal tip are rare there are several signs that may suggest a metastatic spread of an internal malignancy.…”

Main observation:We report a 64-year-old man that developed a nodular lesion on his nasal tip as first manifestation of squamous lung carcinoma. Conclusion:The biopsy of the cutaneous metastasis may be helpful to histopathologically confirm the suspected primary tumour avoiding invasive diagnostic proce-

“…Only few patients with lung cancer [4, 5, 6], chordoma [7], kidney tumor [6, 8, 9], hepatocellular carcinoma [10], seminoma [6], leukemia [11]and breast cancer [6, 12]have been reported with such metastases. We present the third patient with cervix carcinoma and metastasis to the nasal tip indicating a dissemination of her carcinoma.…”
