Lung cancer most commonly metastasizes to the brain, liver, lungs, bone, and adrenal system; however, there have been several cases of spread to soft tissues, with an incidence rate of approximately 0.75-9%. The objective of this case report is to highlight an unusual presentation of metastatic adenocarcinoma of the lung. In this case report, patient presented with a <jats:inline-formula>\n                     <a:math xmlns:a=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1998\/Math\/MathML\" id=\"M1\">\n                        <a:mn>3<\/a:mn>\n                        <a:mo>\u00d7<\/a:mo>\n                        <a:mn>3<\/a:mn>\n                     <\/a:math>\n                  <\/jats:inline-formula>\u2009cm soft tissue mass on the back. The mass was slowly growing but had become more painful and wished to have it excised. Preoperatively, the mass was suspected to be a sebaceous cyst but intraoperatively had deep attachments and other suspicious findings. Pathology had a positive immunoprofile for metastatic adenocarcinoma favoring a lung primary. Given this presentation of metastases, the prognosis is poor with a survival time decreasing to around 5 months. Overall, this case reinforces the importance of sending all soft tissue masses for final pathology with accurate labeling and the importance of immunohistochemical testing in aiding the identification of the primary.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/8856503","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,7]],"date-time":"2021-01-07T04:20:38Z","timestamp":1609993238000},"page":"1-3","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Metastatic Adenocarcinoma of the Lung Presenting as a Soft Tissue Mass"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7205-0478","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"B.","family":"Yglesias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Western Reserve Health Education, Warren, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0421-7018","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M.","family":"Brooker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American University of Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7301-0424","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"R.","family":"DeVito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northeast Ohio Medical University, Rootstown, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4757-7814","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"A.","family":"Swiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Western Reserve Health Education, Warren, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21442"},{"key":"2","volume-title":"World Cancer Report 2014","author":"B.
