Bone is reported to be one of the most common sites of metastasis. Acrometastasis is an extremely rare situation and accounts for approximately 0.1% of all metastatic lesions to the skeleton.

Description
Summary:Bone is reported to be one of the most common sites of metastasis. Acrometastasis is an extremely rare situation and accounts for approximately 0.1% of all metastatic lesions to the skeleton. Here, we present a case of acrometastasis in a 55-year-old woman who presented with a 3-month history of atraumatic right ring fingertip pain and swelling and was subsequently diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. This report highlights the importance of clinical suspicion of malignancy at unusual sites in the setting of non-resolving symptoms.
