Résumé
Muscular metastasis from primary bronchial carcinoma are rare. We report seven cases with different clinical features. In most cases, these metastasis first manifested as a painful mass and revealed the cancer. Localisation of muscular metastasis was assessed by various imaging techniques (RMI, CT scan and ultrasonography). All cases were assessed by biopsy and were associated with primary adenocarcinoma or undifferentiated large cell carcinoma of the lung. Three patients underwent wide excision, leading to an improvement of general condition. All patients were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. With reference to our cases, imaging of the metastases will be illustrated and clinical and therapeutic features will be discussed.
