Abstract

INTRODUCTION Tumors of the abdominal wall are divided into benign and malignant lesions which are composed of primary tumors and by the parietal invasion of intraabdominal tumors and metastatic parietal implants. Metastatic tumor of abdominal wall has an incidence of approximately 0.7–9%. Most common causes are secondary to neoplasms of colonic or gastric origin and implants of trocar holes, metastasis of lung origin is very rare. This case is presented to highlight the rare presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma as a metastatic abdominal wall tumor.
