Lung cancer is the most common cancer-related death in both men and women in the world. Approximately 25% of all cancer deaths are attributable to lung carcinoma. Moreover, about one-half of patients with lung cancer have metastases at the time of initial diagnosis, most frequently of lymph nodes, adrenals, liver, bone and brain.However metastasis to the colon is very rare. Over the past 25 years about 13 cases of symptomatic colonic metastases from lung malignancies of all types have been reported in the literature. Hypercalcemia and leukocytosis are two of the most common paraneoplastic syndromes associated with various malignancies. However, concomitant manifestation of hypercalcemia and leukocytosis are occasionally observed in the same cancer patients. Here, we present a rare case of colonic metastasis from a squamous cell carcinoma of the lung associated with paraneoplastic syndromes of hypercalcemia and leukocytosis.
