Hand metastasis in a patient with cervical cancer

Introduction: Acrometastasis is infrequent and generally indicates a wider spread of metastasis with poor prognosis. The diagnosis is challenging, as it might mimic an infectious, inflammatory, or metabolic disease. Acrometastasis are most commonly found in patients with lung, gastrointestinal, kidney, and breast cancer. Only 3 cases of cervical cancer associated with hand metastasis have been reported in the literature. Patient concerns: Herein, we report a 58-year-old patient with locally advanced cervical cancer and recurrence in the right thumb as presentation of widespread disseminated disease. She initially presented with adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix and was treated with concurrent chemoradiation followed by high-dose rate brachytherapy. Six months later, she developed an insidious onset of pain and swelling in the right thumb, erythema, and edema, mimicking cellulitis. Diagnosis: A biopsy of the soft tissues of the thumb was performed, and the histopathology indicated metastasis of adenocarcinoma to the bone and soft tissues. Interventions and outcomes: The patient rejected further treatment and died of progressive disease 4 months after the diagnosis of the recurrence. Conclusion: Metastases in unusual sites are a diagnostic challenge, and there is no standardized treatment. Timely diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis of these patients and might preserve their quality of life.

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.
