“…17,19,20 Metastatic malignancies of the hand are rare and they usually develop from the lung. 21,22 Bone metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma to the hand is very rare and there are only four cases in the literature. Reichbach et al 1 reported the fi rst case of metastatic lesion of the distal phalanx of the thumb from primary hepatocellular carcinoma.…”

A 49-year-old woman presented with severe swelling and pain of the left little finger, which had exacerbated rapidly, in October 2006. The patient had a history of hepatocellular carcinoma and metastatic lung cancer. She had undergone partial hepatectomy for the hepatocellular carcinoma in September 2001 and pulmonary resection for metastatic lung cancer in November 2005. Roentgenogram of the hand on admission showed complete destruction of the distal phalanx of the left little finger. The final pathological result of the tissue obtained by disarticulation was an extrahepatic metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma. Extrahepatic metastasis from primary hepatocellular carcinoma to the hand is very rare and only four cases have been reported in the literature. All the patients with extrahepatic metastases from the primary hepatocellular carcinoma to the hand had poor prognoses, but the patient presented in this article exhibited an unusual clinical course. The patient is still alive 1 year after the diagnosis of extrahepatic bone metastasis of the distal phalanx.

“…Advanced tumors can appear ulcerated and cause severe irritation. Radiologic appearance demonstrated by irregular osteolytic lesions lacking a periosteal reaction 7 coupled with the presence of a history of malignancy should raise suspicion for acrometastasis, although the differential diagnosis includes gout, rheumatoid arthritis, whitlow, osteomyelitis, fistula, and osteoarthropathy.…”

Summary:Malignant carcinoma metastasis to the skeleton is the third most common site of metastasis after lung and liver, usually involving the axial skeleton and the proximal ends of long bones, ribs, and vertebrae. Acrometastasis, metastasis to hands or feet, comprises only 0.1% of all metastases. Here, we present 2 cases of acrometastasis, one from hepatocellular carcinoma and the other from renal cell carcinoma. We describe the presentation, radiographs, surgical treatment, and outcomes for each patient. Patients presented with swelling and pain at the tumor sites and were treated with amputations. The second patient’s disease progressed resulting in death shortly after amputation indicating acrometastasis may be a poor prognostic indicator of survival. We review the literature and discuss the importance of disease process recognition and prognosis.

“…In this paper, a rare case of thumb metastasis from “follicular-type carcinoma” of the thyroid is presented. Isolated cases of thumb metastasis from several origins have been described in the literature [5–7]. Kerin in 1983 published the most recent review of 163 hand metastases in the world literature.…”
