Abstract

Bone metastases in the hand and foot bone (acrometastases) are rarely observed. The authors report a case of a 57-years-old man diagnosed as hand tumour, revealing a bronchic adenocarcinoma. Radiography showed destruction of the phalanx, and histology study confirmed a metastasis of the lung cancer.
