Introduction: Lung can be affected by various tumors, including lung carcinoma. These tumors exhibit certain clinical signs. In rare cases, they may appear unusual and affect the diagnostic and therapeutic course. Considering the importance of this issue, in the present study, we report a case of lung lymphoma with subsequent lump masses. We report a diagnostic evaluation in a male case with the first manifestation as an unusual presentation of scalp metastasis due to underlying lung cancer. Conclusion: Although lung cancer is typically presented in classical form, it is important to consider unusual manifestations of underlying lung cancer, along with the appearance of scalp lesions.

Complete Surgical Resection

Solitary small bowel metastasis secondary to lung cancer is very uncommon. In this report, we present a patient with NSCLC and a metachronous solitary metastasis of the jejunum. She is alive without evidence of disease and doing well four years after palliative surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing a prolonged survival in a patient with a symptomatic solitary small bowel metastasis treated with palliative surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy instead of complete surgical resection.

Malignant Lung Tumor

Lung cancer is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer and has a high mortality rate. Skin metastases that manifest as visceral malignancies are rare. Cutaneous metastasis from lung cancer has been observed in only 0.22%–12% of cases and is rarely the first manifestation of lung cancer. The histopathological features of metastases are occasionally difficult to distinguish from those of primary cutaneous tumors, despite the rigorous application of useful techniques, particularly immunohistochemistry. We report 3 asymptomatic cases of men who presented with solitary periumbilical, sacral, and scalp metastasis as the first manifestation of an underlying malignant lung tumor.

Underlying Disorder

Pulmonary Tuberculosis can co-exist with lung malignancy masking the underlying disorder leading to delay in diagnosis and management. Here we present an interesting case of a 72 year old female who on initial presentation was diagnosed with tuberculosis but later developed plural effusion during treatment and on investigation was found to have an underlying lung malignancy.Introduction: Pulmonary Tuberculosis and lung carcinoma are the two co morbidities that have been shown in many studies to coexist. Many of Signs and symptoms of Pulmonary Tuberculosis mimics lung carcinoma and coexistence increases mortality and morbidity. So we are presenting a case which had pulmonary Tuberculosis and later developed carcinoma lung.
