Adenocarcinoma metastaticum of the frontal region.

Adenocarcinoma is a carcinoma originating from epithelium of glandular tissue. It has higher incidence in smokers and most often is a common type of lung cancer find in non-smokers women. Adenocarcinoma tumors are highly heterogeneous and there are several major subtypes: adenocarcinoma, papillary adenocarcinoma, bronchoalveolar carcinoma, solid adenocarcinoma with mucin production. Adenocarcinoma of the lung is prone to give metastases to the liver, spleen, brain and most to cervical limphonodes. We present a case of a 55-year-old woman with an unusually localized metastatic adenocarcinoma with its primary focus originating from the lungs. Formation reached size of 15 cm in diametre during three months along with destruction of frontal bone ad intracranial penetration. We couldn't find similary localised metastatic adenocarcinoma in world literature.
