Abstract
Cancers of unknown primary site (CUPs) present a heterogeneous group of metastatic tumors, for which all standard methods of diagnostic work-up fail as far as identifying the site of origin at the time of diagnosis is concerned.3-5% of all malignancies comprised by the CUP’s. Patient’s profile, gender, the position of the secondary cancer in the body and detailed clinical workup and laboratory workup of the tumor gives important clues in the diagnosis of CUP’s. Cancers with unknown primary present a common diagnostic dilemma to the clinicians, as the biggest problem is in tracing the primary in such patients. These cancers are a result of an untraceable occult primary somewhere in the body which present as secondaries, giving a hint of their existence. The tact is in using these secondaries as a guide to the primary lesion. In the present case report we describe a 60 yr old female who presented to the surgery OPD as a case of multiple unusually large and frightening swellings over the face and back and raised a suspicion of secondary metastasis on presentation.
