title: Hand metastasis from renal cell carcinoma with no bone involvement.
abstract: Hand metastases account for 0.1% of all metastases and most of them involve primarily the bones. A case of a metastasis from renal cell carcinoma to the distal segment of the little finger with no bone involvement is described. In view of the fact that the kidneys are the origin of only 10% of hand metastases, such a case is extremely rare.
