【 摘 要 】

Muscle metastases remain rare as a secondary localization for cancers in general and lung cancer in particular. They are discovered incidentally in most cases and in the advanced stages of cancer. We report the case of a 60-year-old man, followed for squamous cell carcinoma, who was found to have muscle metastases during the follow-up of associated muscle pain. This case highlights the existence of these metastases in lung squamous cell carcinoma, rare as it is, and requires particular attention from practitioners in the follow-up of patients to detect these cases as early as possible and improve patient survival. Computed Tomography (CT) remains an excellent exam for the detection of skeletal metastasis.
