Sumario: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.
