Cancer pain can depend on the histologic type and the anatomic site involved. The patient pictured on the left has a lower lip squamous cell carcinoma. Despite significant pain he delayed his treatment. Ultimately, he sought treatment given his incapacity to eat, drink, or talk secondary to function-induced pain. On the right is an axial CT scan of a 52-year-old woman diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Her initial complaint was pain in the jaw that turned out to be a metastasis of the lung cancer to her jaw. She had no pain in the lung.
