title: A colonic metastatic tumor in the hand.
abstract: 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.
