In most cases, soft-tissue metastasis develops after initial diagnosis of the primary internal malignancy and late in the course of the disease. In very rare cases, they may occur at the same time or before the primary cancer has been detected. In our case, the soft-tissue metastasis and the primary lung cancer were diagnosed at the same time.
