Abstract
|
|
|
|
Metastases from hepatocellular carcinoma to the bones of the hands or feet are rare. They are usually a late manifestation of a disseminated tumor but may also be the primary manifestation of an occult cancer. Clinically, the metastasis may mimic benign tumors or non-neoplastic osteoarthritic conditions; thus, resulting in misdiagnosis and improper treatment. We report a case of acrometastasis to the right first metatarsal bone in a 70-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma.
