Skeletal muscle metastases: case report and literature review
Keywords:
Skeletal muscle metastases, adenocarcinoma, lung, PET-CTAbstract
Skeletal muscle metastases are very seldom encountered in
clinical practice. Their typical presentation is of painful masses
occurring mainly in widespread diseases. The primary tumor
location described more often is the lung, namely the adenocarcinoma histological type.
The authors report a case of a 40 year old Romanian woman,
diagnosed with diffuse metastatic disease, including metastases
to the skeletal muscle. The primary tumor was found to be a
poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lung. Literature
revision was performed.
