A case of osteoblastic skull metastasis of lung cancer is reported. A 56-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of headache and tumor of the right parietal bone. A plain skull X-ray showed hyperostotic feature of the right parietal bone. CT scan displayed that right parietal bone became thick and osteoblastic. Soft tissue was shown in the hyperostotic bone under MRI. An external carotid angiogram showed that the skull tumor was fed by the middle meningeal artery. The skull tumor and 2 solid intracerebral tumors were extirpated. Histological examination revealed adenocarcinoma in the skull and intracerebral lesions. The present case indicates that osteoblastic stimulating factor may be secreted by lung cancer.
