Abstract
Umbilical metastases have been almost exclusively reported in patients with adenocarcinomas of intra-abdominal organs. We present a case of small cell carcinoma of the lung with umbilical metastasis that was confirmed by biopsy. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of umbilical metastasis from small cell lung cancer.
