Unlabelled: Clown nose-like lesion can be the manifestation of inflammatory, infectious or neoplasm-related diseases, and some genetic syndromes. Lung carcinoma metastasize rarely to the skin. To our knowledge, 16 cases of lung cancer metastasis with clown nose-like lesions have been reported. Here, we describe a new case.
Abstract: Cutaneous metastases of small-cell-lung carcinoma are rare, and nose involvement is much rarer. However, it can be the first warning sign of lung cancer. We describe the case of a patient who presented with a red nodule of the nasal tip reminding a clown-nose.
