Radionuclide imaging of two patients with metastasis to a distal phalanx of the hand.
Although skeletal metastases from malignant neoplasms are common, the spread of cancer to the distal phalanx of the hand is quite rare. We have presented two cases with a distal phalangeal metastasis which could be definitely detected by radionuclide imaging.
