Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Lung cancer metastases to soft tissues are rarely reported in the literature. In this report, we discuss a case of a 59-year-old female who presented with worsening shortness of breath for over five months. A CT scan of the chest revealed right upper lobe mass and ipsilateral mediastinal adenopathy. An endo-bronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided biopsy of the involved lymph nodes revealed cellular features consistent with lung adenocarcinoma. MRI of the brain was negative for metastases; however, a positron emission testing (PET) scan showed fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid nodules in the soft tissues of the bilateral buttocks. Tissue biopsy of the buttock lesions confirmed metastases of lung origin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma with occult involvement of the gluteal muscles as the sole site of distant metastasis.
