“…4 However, other malignant causes like lymphomas, malignant germ cell tumours and metastatic deposits in the mediastinum as well as benign causes like central venous blockage catheter and abscess in the lungs and mediastinum have also been implicated in the causation of SVC syndrome. 5 Though not common, lung abscess has been shown to be the cause of SVC syndrome in various case reports worldwide.…”

BACKGROUNDPrimary vaginal cancer represents only 1% to 2% of malignant neoplasm of the female genital tract and squamous cell carcinoma of vagina is most common form of vaginal cancer and is usually restricted to the vagina. Rarely it metastasises to lung, liver or bone. Squamous cell carcinoma and its association with lung abscess have long being recognised. Patients presenting with symptomatic abscess have an associated malignancy in 7% -18% of cases. We report here a case of squamous cell carcinoma of lung secondary to primary vaginal squamous cell carcinoma with superior vena-caval obstruction masquerading as lung abscess.

234Bone is a common site of metastasis from lung cancer. Metastasis to the patella, however, is rare. A 76-year-old man presented with knee pain caused by an isolated patellar metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Treatment was delayed secondary to delay in diagnosis. In cases of bone pain that are unexplained or out of proportion to a traumatic event, more extensive diagnostic studies should be done.

“…Clinically, metastasis of the patella accompanied by knee pain was the presenting symptom of lung cancer in the patients. The common early manifestation of lung cancer is a cough and sputum production (~75% patients), whereas bone pain as an initial symptom occurred in 22% of the patients (24). Patients who had patellar metastasis of the lung presented with progressive knee pain and limited mobility that was relieved by analgesic drugs (10).…”

Abstract. Although bone tumors are frequently located in the knee area, primary tumors of the patella are rare and patellar metastases are even rarer. Knee pain is the most common complaint of patients with patellar metastases. Owing to the low incidence of patellar metastases, misdiagnosis is not unusual. The present review analyzes ~44 cases of patellar metastases originating from distinct primary sites. Reports of malignant tumors of the lung and kidney metastasizing to the patella were more common than those of other patellar metastases. Relative incidence, symptomatology, imaging features, histopathology and treatment options for these patellar metastatic lesions are described respectively along with a review of the literature. Despite numerous experiments demonstrating the reasons for implantation of tumor in patella, the answer to this question has not yet been revealed. In the light of the increasing attention on the diagnosis and the treatment of these lesions, the availability of the integrated information regarding metastases in the patella becomes more relevant.
