Calvarial and scalp metastases: an unusual presentation of non-small-cell lung cancer.

We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with scalp and skull masses. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic tumor from non-small-cell lung cancer. To our knowledge, this is the sixth case reported in the English literature. Although the occurrence of the distant neoplastic spread was a preterminal event, local electron beam irradiation effected significant resolution of the metastatic tumors.
