Abstract
We present a patient with pulmonary adenocarcinoma metastatic to the left forearm. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed no discrete tumor, but an infiltrative signal change of the subcutaneous tissue and muscle. The lymphatic invasion by cancer cells explains this unusual manifestation of image findings. ? 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
