Abstract

Painful soft tissue masses may in rare instances correspond to intramuscular metastases from an unknown malignant neoplasia. We report an unusual case of a muscular metastasis to the flexor compartment of the forearm as the first clinical manifestation of an asymptomatic bronchial adenocarcinoma in a 46-old-year man.
