RESUMEN
Las metástasis óseas distales a codo y rodilla (acrometástasis), son de baja ocurrencia, se asocian a malignidad avanzada y son indicadores de pobre pronóstico; sólo en 10% de los casos son la primera expresión clínica de la neoplasia. Su reconocimiento es importante ya que se asemejan a enfermedades benignas frecuentes, retardando el diagnóstico y disminuyendo la expectativa de vida de los pacientes. Se presentan dos casos de pacientes con acrometástasis en miembros inferiores; el primero como la manifestación inicial de recidiva de un carcinoma de células renales; y el segundo como parte del extenso compromiso metastásico de un carcinoma de pulmón en su debut. (Acta Med Colomb 2015; 40 349-352).

Two cases of patients with lower limb acrometastasis are presented; the first as the initial manifestation of recurrence of renal cell carcinoma, and the second as part of the extensive metastatic involvement of lung carcinoma on his debut.
