A colonic metastatic tumor in the hand.
Secondary tumors in the hand are very uncommon. Of the reported cases the majority arise from primary bronchial carcinoma, with multiple secondary deposits into bone. A case is reported of bony metastasis to the middle phalanx of the small finger in a patient who had a resection of a colonic adenocarcinoma 2 years previously.
