“…Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-198 target DIAPH, implicated in promoting keratinocyte migration and epithelialization, could also contribute to metastatic dissemination in this context [ 14 ]. The literature also suggests a potential role for trauma or repetitive microtrauma in facilitating metastatic deposition, especially in the dominant hand which is more prone to such incidents [ 15 ].…”

“…The mechanism of acrometastasis is not completely defined. Many different hypotheses have been advanced, like the hematopoietic dissemination or multiple repetitive microtraumas [ 5 ]. In some cases, the acrometastasis could be the first sign of the presence of neoplasia, but they are mostly seen in patients with an established diagnosis of cancer [ 6 ].…”

Acrometastases are rare lesions that originate most commonly from the primary lung cancer. They can mislead the diagnosis and the treatment, since they often appear as an osteomyelitis of the affected area. The presence of these metastases is a sign of poor prognosis, with a life expectancy of few months. We report a case of a 78-year-old male with an acrometastasis to the distal phalanx of the right fourth toe. It was the first sign that his previously diagnosed large cell lung carcinoma had reached a metastatic stage. Amputation of the toe was considered in this case where the intense pain of his acrometastasis could not be managed even with strong analgesics.
