Metastatic Prostate Cancer of Hand

Abstract

Soft tissue metastases of prostate cancer to other sites are extremely rare, and, to our best knowledge, there have been no reports of metastasis to soft tissue of the hand. A 63-year-old man was diagnosed with prostatic cancer. During treatment, bone and soft tissue metastases to the right hand, appearing in the first web space, were observed. The tumor was resected, along with both the first and second metacarpal bones. The thumb was reconstructed by pollicization of the remaining index finger, enabling the patient to use the pollicized thumb for activities of daily living. This is the first case report of prostate cancer metastasizing to the soft tissue in hand. After wide resection, pollicization was able to reconstruct a functional hand and thumb.

A Case of Metastatic Prostate Cancer to the Distal Phalanx

“…Metastatic prostate cancer to the hand is extremely rare and has been documented only once previously in the literature. In 2016, Nagano et al 6 was the first to report metastatic prostate cancer to the bone and soft tissue of the hand. In this case report, the patient’s prostate cancer first metastasized to the S1 vertebra before developing a painless mass in the first web space of the right hand.…”
