Abstract
A 78-year-old man with a history of haemothorax developed a chest wall mass at the site of a previous chest drain 2 months ago. Imaging revealed a right lung mass with pleural involvement and a soft tissue tract to the chest wall. Histology confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. This case highlights a rare instance of metastasis via a chest drain tract.
