Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Metastases to the hand in patients with malignant disease are to be reported extremely rare. In this paper, four patients with lung cancer who developed metastasis to the hand are reported. The involved tissue was bone alone in one, soft tissue alone in two and both bone and soft tissue in one. Local pain and swelling were the most common symptoms of these lesions, and it was often mistaken for an inflammatory process. All the patients died within six months after the detection of these lesions. Metastases to the hand are a part of systemic metastases indicating a poor prognosis.
