Isolated skeletal muscle metastasis and hypercalcemia in non-small cell lung carcinoma
Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy throughout the world. Non-small cell lung carcinoma is the most common type and squamous cell type is the most common in India. Patients mostly present with chest related symptoms and signs. Isolated skeletal muscle metastasis (ISMM) is rarely seen. We describe a patient who presented with ISMM and hypercalcemia without any pulmonary symptoms.
