An unusual presentation of a squamous cell carcinoma of bronchus as an ulcer at the tip of the nose

The occurrence of cutaneous spread of internal malignancies is quite rare despite the fact that the skin is the largest organ in the human body. When present, it is an indicator of poor prognosis as the patient usually dies within three to six months of diagnosis. Here, we report a patient with bronchogenic carcinoma who had metastatic ulceration of the tip of the nose as the presenting feature.
