“…Treatment is palliative and includes surgical resection or amputation. 3 The incidence of distant metastases in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue is relatively small as compared with other malignancies, and it is influenced by location of the primary tumor, initial stage, and the presence or absence of locoregional control. The most frequent metastatic sites include lung (66%), bone (22%), and liver (10%).…”

“…A series of 133 digital metastases from various types of primary tumour showed only 8% occurred as solitary metastases in the great toe, compared to 86% in the fingers (3). The rarity of digital metastasis is thought to be due to the relative absence of red marrow in the digital bones.…”

“…Metastasis to the digits is thought to mainly arise in the bone first, before enlarging locally to invade the skin but it can occur in skin first (3). The presentation is variable, but swelling, erythema, pain and fluctuance may be considered typical.…”

A 62-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of shortness of breath, weight loss and painful swelling of the great toe. Examination elicited an ulcerated swelling of the right great toe, thought to be an ingrowing toenail. Chest ‘crackles’ and an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node were detected. Biopsies of the toe swelling and bronchi both showed squamous cell carcinoma, confirmed radiologically as stage IV lung cancer. The patient was referred for palliative amputation of the toe. Cancer metastases to the digits may arise in bone, before enlarging to invade skin, or arise in skin first. 20-60% of cutaneous metastases present before or at the same time as the primary lung tumour. Cutaneous metastases and those in the digits indicate very poor prognosis. Their prompt diagnosis and management can dramatically improve a patient’s quality of life and should be strived for.

Cutaneous metastasis is a rare event occurring most frequently in patients previously diagnosed with cancer. However, subungual metastases are even less frequent. The most common neoplasms associated with the latter are lung, kidney, and breast neoplasms. Lung cancer is the main cause of subungual metastases in the fingers, and genitourinary tract tumors are the main cause of subungual metastases in the toes. This is the first case report of an adenocarcinoma of the prostate with subungual metastasis.
