Indications of a metastasis rather than primary tumor are mainly:
*Tumors that are '''unlikely to arise''' at the location at hand.
*Tumors conforming to more likely '''metastasis pathways'''.
If a suspected malignancy is present, generally check the patient '''history''' for any history of cancer, especially for tumors in more common metastasis sites, which mainly include lung, bone, liver and/or brain. In case of such history, preferably look at the microscopy slides of the past cancer to help determining whether the current case is of the same origin, versus a primary at the current body location, versus a metastasis of yet another location.
