Squamous cell lung carcinoma with gastrointestinal metastasis: a case report and review of literature
Squamous cell lung carcinoma (LUSC) originates from squamous cells and has a high rate of metastasis and recurrence. The lack of effective genetic targets and specific therapies has resulted in a poor prognosis for patients with LUSC. Gastrointestinal metastasis of LUSC is a rare occurrence in clini...

description | Squamous cell lung carcinoma (LUSC) originates from squamous cells and has a high rate of metastasis and recurrence. The lack of effective genetic targets and specific therapies has resulted in a poor prognosis for patients with LUSC. Gastrointestinal metastasis of LUSC is a rare occurrence in clinical practice. Patients with gastrointestinal metastasis usually have worse overall survival and the process of diagnosis is more complicated than those with metastasis elsewhere. What’s more, there are no helpful guidelines for treating patients with a clinically confirmed diagnosis of gastrointestinal metastasis, which means the treatment method is limited. Here, we review the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of LUSC patients with gastrointestinal metastasis and report a rare case of LUSC accompanied by gastrointestinal metastasis. The patient was admitted to the hospital with coughing and hemoptysis. A tumor was found in his lung, and lesions were initially controlled with standard treatment. The patient’s tumor re-occurred again shortly for which treatment was lacking. Without effective treatment methods, the disease was difficult to control. Our learnings from the case demonstrate that LUSC metastasizes to secondary lymphoid organs of the gastrointestinal tract, usually with a poor prognosis. |
