Metastasis of lung cancer to bone of the finger: a case report

Abstract: 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 … Show more

“…Following lung cancer, renal (20%), breast (12.9%), and colorectal cancers (10%) are recognized as other significant primary sources [ 4 ]. In the early stages, patients with hand metastases might experience mild symptoms such as pain, redness, and swelling, which can evolve into more conspicuous signs like palpable masses or exophytic lesions as the disease progresses [ 5 ]. The diagnosis of these tumors is generally confirmed through histological examination of biopsy specimens, with imaging modalities such as X-rays or computed tomography scans being instrumental in detecting bone involvement.…”
