Abstract

Küçük
hücreli akciğer kanseri (KHAK) nöroendokrin bir tümör olup sıklıkla yaygın
hastalık olarak kendini gösterir. Hastaların çoğunda uzak metastaz vardır ve
başlangıç tedavisi sistemik kemoterapidir. KHAK olan hastalar tedavi almadan
yaşayamazlar ve en önemli faktör hastalığın çabuk tanı almasıdır. Bu yazıda
cilt nodülü eksizyonu ile tanı konan yaygın hastalıklı KHAK’ li bir olgu
sunulmuştur.

Widespread Skin Metastases: Could it be Small Cell?

Abstract

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a neuroendocrine
tumor usually presents with disseminated disease. The majority of patients have
distant metastases and initial therapeutic management is systemic chemotherapy.
SCLC patients almost never survive without treatment and most important factor
is than prompt diagnosis of the disease. A case of SCLC with extensive stage
disease that was accurately diagnosed via excised skin nodule is presented in
this report.

Keywords
