Metastatic Carcinoma on the Scalp

Abstract

Two cases of metastatic tumors on the scalp originated from lung developing in 60 and 61 year old Japanese women were presented. These tumors were typical adenocarcinoma histologically. On the chest X-ray film, many faint round markings were scattered in the right lower lung field of the first case, and in the second case a great nodular lesion located in the right middle lung-field. All the previous reports of the cutaneous metastasis originated from lung in Japan were reviewed.
