Among 4 cases of nasal carcinoma in men who worked for 19 and 32 years in a Japanese chromate factory, 1 patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the left nasal cavity 11 years after retirement (Satoh et al. 1994). The other three patients underwent lobectomy for lung cancer, and 6-15 years later, all three contracted nasal cancer, two in the nasal cavity and one in the nasopharynx. The period for the appearance of nasal cancer was about 39 years after first being exposed to chromium. No mention was made of the possibility of metastasis of lung cancer to the nasal region.
