A Rare Case of Giant Cell Carcinoma of Lung Presenting with Skin Metastasis

Komal Chaudhary, Govind Singh Rajawat and Suresh Koolwal

Giant Cell Carcinoma of the Lung (GCCL) is a rare histological form of poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer, which is classified as a subtype of pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas. Here we report the case of known Multidrug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-PTB) patient presented with left lung mass diagnosed as giant cell carcinoma of lung with skin metastasis as a suboccipital swelling. GCCL is a poorly differentiated non-small cell lung cancer. GCCL has exceptionally aggressive characteristics and its prognosis is much poorer than other NSCLCs. Although cutaneous metastasis from the lung is rare, it must be ruled out in patients with suspicious skin lesions, smoking history, or lung cancer.
