The nursing of skin metastasis on the puncture site of peripherally inserted central catheter in a patient with lung cancer.

CONCLUSION:: The case of lung cancer metastasizing to skin from peripherally inserted central catheter puncture is rare and may be attributed to the aggressiveness of tumor, the age of the patient, and the duration and location of peripherally inserted central catheter. Active treatment of distant metastasis could improve the life quality and prolong the survival of the patients. PMID: 30614392 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
