Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents almost 80-85% of lung cancer cases. It is the most frequent malignancy after skin cancer. The therapeutic options for stage IV of disease consider histology, molecular characteristics, age, performance status, comorbidities, and not in the lust, patient�s option. This paper presents the case of a male patient, 73 years old, smoker, presented and treated in May 2016 in the Sf. Ap. Andrei Emergency Clinical Hospital Galati. The first sign of disease was inguinal and obturator right lymph node metastases whose histopathological test revealed metastases from malignant melanoma. Immunohistochemical tests (IHC) indicated undifferentiated carcinoma with lung as starting point, (Ck7 (+), TTF1 (+)). Thorax, abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) imaging not evidenced space replacement processes in lung, but with mediastinal, right obturator and inguinal adenopathy. From personal pathological history we retain basocellular carcinoma in lumbar region, treated with surgery in 2009. It was initiated palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy with remission of obturator and inguinal adenopathy, and at 9 months from diagnosis the Positron Emission Tomography (PET-CT) evidenced primary lung tumor situated in right superior lobe (RSL). At the present, patient is alive performing palliative chemotherapy. This case presented diagnostic and treatment issues, being a challenge for multidisciplinary team. We are mentioning the paucity of literature data regarding cases of primary tumors situated upper diaphragm which metastases in inguinal lymph nodes.
