METASTATIC LUNG TUMOR OF ADENOSQUAMOUS CARCINOMA SPREAD FROM THE PANCREAS WAS DIFFICULT TO DIAGNOSE WHILE STILE ALIVE

Abstract

This case was a 60 year old man whose complaints were coughing, high fever and weight loss. A bilateral diffuse coin lesion was discovered in his chest X-ray. Because the sputum cytology was class V (squamous cell carcinoma), a metastatic lung tumor was suspected, but we could not find the source after many special examinations. It was decided that the source was in the lung. During autopsy, we found adenosquamous carcinoma in the pancreas, kidney and bilateral lungs. It was decided that the source of the metastatic lung tumor of the adenosquamous carcinoma was in the pancreas. This was a rare case.
