Metastatic Hepatocellular Carcinoma to the Distal Phalanx: a Case Report and Review of Literature / 한국호스피스완화의료학회지

ABSTRACT

Metastatic tumors to the hand are rare and often overlooked by clinicians. Here, we report a rare case of phalangeal metastasis of right 4th finger in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. Treatment was given with right 4th finger disarticulation. This report suggests that physicians must take consideration into the possibility of metastatic tumors in patients with bone lesions on hands and a history of malignancy.
