title: Distant forearm muscle metastasis from squamous cell lung carcinoma.
abstract: A case of a 59-year-old man with a distant forearm muscular metastasis due to squamous cell lung carcinoma is presented. Fourteen months after a right pneumonectomy the patient was readmitted with a mass in the right forearm and pain in the right elbow during flexion. He underwent an en bloc wide resection of the tumor, which was confirmed to be metastatic. Twelve months after excision and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy he remains in complete remission.
