- Multiple skin lesions (tender erythemas) on the limbs and upper chest.

- Failed to respond to antibiotics.

- Routine blood tests results showed a decline in peripheral blood cells (peripheral blood - the flowing, circulating blood of the body that's composed of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets).

- Chest computed tomography (CT) examination showed a space occupying lesion in the middle lobe of the right lung, which was considered peripheral lung cancer.
