INTRODUCTION Tumors of the abdominal wall are divided into benign and malignant lesions which are composed of primary tumors and by the parietal invasion of intraabdominal tumors and metastatic parietal implants. Metastatic tumor of abdominal wall has an incidence of approximately 0.7–9%. Most common causes are secondary to neoplasms of colonic or gastric origin and implants of trocar holes, metastasis of lung origin is very rare. This case is presented to highlight the rare presentation of bronchogenic carcinoma as a metastatic abdominal wall tumor.

CECT abdomen showed mass in subcutaneous plane of RIF, with no bowel or solid organ lesions. Initial chest xray was normal. Repeat chest xray showed a left upper lobe opacity followed by CECT Thorax which showed mass lesion in the left upper lobe with multiple satellite nodules.
