Squamous Cell Lung Cancer Associated With Systemic Sclerosis

Abstract: We here describe a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with squamous cell lung cancer (SqLC) with underlying interstitial lung disease (ILD) 14 years after a diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). We reviewed the literature and collected 21 well-documented cases with SqLC associated with SSc including the present case. Several characteristics of SqLC associated with SSc have been found. First, the average age at diagnosis of SqLC is 57 years, which is much younger than that reported for patients without SSc. Second, S… Show more

“…The frequency of squamous cell carcinoma was higher in IPF than in non-ILD patients (35 vs. 13 %). In ILD patients, most tumors reportedly develop in the area affected by ILD (Fujimoto et al 2013 ; Kanaji et al 2015 ). The current study provides evidence that carcinogenesis in IPF differs from that in non-ILD patients in that it is not associated with EGFR mutation.…”

“…There are sclerodactyly (Figure 3b) and also skin tightening of bilateral lower limbs (Figure 3c). lung, ovarian, oral cavity, and pharynx cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and colorectal cancer [11][12][13][14][15][16]. In this case series, we present two cases of paraneoplastic systemic sclerosis associated with adenocarcinoma of the lung and acute myeloid leukemia, highlighting the importance of considering an underlying malignancy in patients presenting with sclerodermic clinical features.…”
