Abstract :
Bone metastasis is common with lung cancer. The most common sites are in the axial skeleton and less common
are in the appendicular skeleton but metastases distal to elbow or knee joints are very rare. As per literature review,
there are very few case reports of tibial metastasis from lung cancer, more so with squamous cell histology. Here we report a case of squamous
cell carcinoma lung with left tibial metastasis treated with systemic chemotherapy and bisphosphonate and we share our experience regarding treatment outcome and lessons learnt in the process, regarding the need of palliative radiation to the skeletal metastatic site.
