Abstract:
The term carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) refers to a malignant tumor whose histology suggests strongly that it is a metastasis, yet the primary lesion is unknown despite sufficient whole body evaluation at the time of examination. CUP has similar incidences in men and women and the average age at diagnosis is 60 years. While its overall incidence varies depending on the report, it generally accounts for 1-5% of all cancers. Thus, it is rare. We encountered a case of squamous cell carcinoma of the inguinal region that seemed to be a metastasis and for which we could not find the primary lesion. This case is reported here along with a literature review on CUP to increase awareness of this rare lesion.
