“…A review of the literature shows the most common site of metastatic deposits to the hand is the distal phalanx, followed by metacarpal and carpal bones (17% either), and the more frequent involvement of men than women [1,2,4]. The expected survival for patients with malignant metastases to the hand is poor, usually not longer than 6 months, as in the presented case [1,6,7]. Treatment includes local excision of the tumour, or amputation if localized in a finger.…”

Introduction: Metastases of malignant neoplasms to the hand and wrist are rare. The lung, breast and kidneys are more common sites of primary lesions that metastasize in the hand. Phalanges are more commonly involved than the metacarpal and wrist. Case report: We report the case of a metastatic tumour involving the distal phalanx of the little finger originating from lung cancer in a patient with a history of advanced neoplastic disease (stage III B). Lung cancer was diagnosed approximately 10 months prior to the occurrence of metastasis. The tumour in the finger grew slowly, causing enlargement of the distal phalanx, causing no pain and not interfering with the hand function. The diagnosis was made based on X-ray performed due to occasional trauma of the involved finger. Treatment of the metastatic tumour consisted in amputation of the finger. After healing of the stump the patient was referred to further palliative, oncologic care. Keywords: lung cancer; metastasis to the bone; metastasis to the hand. ABSTRAKT Wstęp:Przerzuty nowotworowe do ręki są bardzo rzadkie. Najczęstszym źródłem takich przerzutów są raki płuca, sutka i nerek, a najczęstszą lokalizacją przerzutów są paliczki dalsze palców, kości śródręcza i nadgarstka. Opis przypadku: W pracy przedstawiono przypadek przerzutu raka płuca do kości paliczka dalszego małego palca u pacjenta z zaawansowanym (stadium III B) rakiem niedrobnokomórkowym płuca zdiagnozowanym ok. 10 miesięcy przed rozpoznaniem przerzutu. Guz małego palca powiększał się powoli, powodując powiększenie się paliczka dalszego, był niebolesny i nie zaburzał czynności ręki. Rozpoznanie zostało ustalone na podstawie zdjęcia RTG wykonanego po przypadkowym urazie małego palca. Leczenie przerzutu polegało na amputacji małego palca, po której pacjent został skierowany do dalszego, paliatywnego leczenia onkologicznego. Słowa kluczowe: rak płuca; przerzut do kości; przerzut do ręki.

“…The usage of forequarter amputation for recurrent breast cancer is a rare practice, and Table 1 provides a summary of the outcomes from published cases [9–20] . When patients sought surgery for curative benefit, they generally had good survival outcomes from the procedure.…”

“…With respect to RT, the extent of disease can be challenging to treat (bilateral chest walls anteriorly and posteriorly, axilla, arms, and head and neck). Conventional RT techniques, including electron fields and 3‐dimension conformal radiation therapy (3D‐CRT), are limited due to the complexity of setup and ability to spare normal tissues, particularly in cases of re‐irradiation 5 . Intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows for organ sparing over large volumes; however, data are limited to case reports with no standardized techniques 4 .…”

Cutaneous metastases, while rare, are most commonly from breast cancer, commonly after several lines of systemic therapy malignancy. 1,2 Skin metastases can cause pain, bleeding, and infection, leading to challenges in regard to treatment and quality of life. 1,2 Multiple strategies exist for progressive cutaneous metastases including changing systemic therapy, topical or intralesional therapy, electrochemotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and radiation therapy (RT). 1-4 With respect to RT, the extent of disease can be challenging to treat (bilateral chest walls anteriorly and posteriorly, axilla, arms, and head and neck). Conventional RT techniques, including electron fields and 3-dimension conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), are limited due to the complexity of setup and ability to spare normal tissues, particularly in cases of re-irradiation. 5 Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows for organ sparing over large volumes;
