Skeletal metastases from advanced lung cancer can be exacerbated by either direct extension from nearby primary or more frequently by hematogenous spread of malignant cells. The most typical location for bone metastases in lung cancer is the lumbar spine. In long bones, humerus in particular are rare locations for metastases from lung primaries. Skeletal dissemination is most frequently linked to small cell and large cell bronchogenic carcinomas. In this case report we present a case of traumatic left shoulder pain and we evaluated the patient under magnetic resonance imaging which is the most commonly used imaging modality for assessment of suspected soft tissue pathologies associated with the shoulder pain followed by histopathology and PET- CT turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma lung with osteolytic metastasis to humerus.
