PG - 126e-129e LID - 10.1700/1190.13213 [doi] AB - Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a well-established and useful procedure in the diagnosis of lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Tumor seeding has been shown to be a potential risk. We report the case and management of a 78-year-old patient affected by LSCC who developed a chest wall metastasis in a straight line from the primary lesion along the FNAB needle track. Although tumor seeding after FNAB is a rare but possible complication, we suggest that careful examination for implantation (with periodical CT scans) should be performed for at least three years after FNAB.
