Abstract: | This is a metastatic spread of squamous cell lung carcinoma to lungs, liver, lymph node, bone and subcutanous region as multiple abscess-like lesions. A fifty-Five years old man admitted to the out-patient clinic with fever, cough, hemopthysis, night sweats, chest pain, abdominal pain and weight loss. In a short period of time abcess like lesions developed in his lungs, liver, lymph node, bone and subcutanous region. Though the clinical presentation is suggestive for an infectious condition, no success to antimicrobial treatment and negative results of microbiological studies have arised a need to further investigations. Histopathological studies of the abscess wall ultimately gave the definitive diagnosis as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. We believe that case report is interesting because of the uncommon metastatic lesions masquerading the abscesses and also wide-spread multiple distant Invasions of a squamous cell lung carcinoma in a short time period. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/4247 | ISSN: | 0494-1373 |
