title: A skin nodule in a 66-year-old man as sign of an ominous prognosis.
abstract: Skin metastases are common in lung cancer but are rarely noted as the presenting complaint. As evidence of dissemination, they, of course, carry an ominous prognosis. We present a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung in an otherwise healthy man, whose only symptom was a painless skin nodule.
