“…1) On the other hand, skeletal muscle metastases from lung cancer are exceedingly rare and even more rare when are they the only clinical manifestation of disease. 2) In most cases, muscle metastases become apparent after the primary lung lesion has been diagnosed and the tumor has already metastasized through the lymphatic system or blood to other sites.…”

Here, we report a rare case of a 39-year-old male who presented with left forearm pain and swelling as the initial manifestation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The patient underwent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection of the primary lesion as a salvage treatment. Four years and 7 months after his first presentation, the patient is alive with no symptoms of recurrence or metastasis. Although the optimal treatment for skeletal muscle metastasis from NSCLC has not been determined, aggressive treatment for the primary and the solitary metastatic lesion could be considered as a potentially successful treatment option.

Gluteal region muscle metastasis from squamous cell lung carcinoma

et al. 2017

Lung cancer is known as a disease leading to metastases to all types of organs. Although covering a large part of the body and of much blood building-up, skeletal muscles are rare metastatic areas. In autopsies, less than 1% of malignant cancers that are spread hematogenously is known to lead to metastasis. A 51-year-old male patient diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer and known to be in regression via screening after the administration of 32-day curative radiotheraphy and 6-cycle chemotherapy, the patient was radiologically followed-up. Four months later, he was admitted to outpatient clinic with the complaint of left hip pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a lesion of nodular, necrotic metastatic mass within left gluteus muscles. As a result of tru-cut biopsy performed for the solid lesion, metastasis of carcinoma was detected. As also in our case, metastatic muscle disease should be suspected in patients with muscle pain.

“…1 Metastases to skeletal muscle from primary lung cancer are a rare event, with few reports in the literature. 2,3 Although solid metastases to the gluteal muscle from various primaries have been described in case reports, this has not been the case for metastatic lung cancer. The only form of lung metastasis to the gluteal region has been reported as an abscess.…”

Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in both men and women worldwide. It is also one of the most common forms of cancer in Ireland, accounting for about 20% of all deaths from cancer each year. Early detection of lung cancer is infrequent, and most cases are not diagnosed and treated until they are at an advanced stage. Distant metastases in lung cancer commonly involve the adrenal glands, liver, bones, and central nervous system; they are only rarely seen in the skeletal system. We report a rare case of metastasis to the gluteal muscle as the initial presentation of lung cancer.
