Case A 62-year-old woman presenting with ankle pain was initially treated for a non-displaced fracture. Persistent pain despite months of conservative management for her presumed injury prompted repeat radiographs which demonstrated the progression of a lytic lesion and led to an orthopedic oncology referral. Following a complete work-up, including biopsy and staging, she was diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the distal fibula. Conclusion Secondary tumors of the fibula are uncommon but an important diagnosis to consider for intractable lower extremity pain especially in patients with history of malignancy or lack of age-appropriate cancer screening.
