  • Title: Digital metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a surgical trap. Case report and literature review.
    Author: Plotkine E, Coscas R, Guigui P.
    Journal: Chir Main; 2008 Sep; 27(4):187-90. PubMed ID: 18760951.
    Abstract:
    Acrometastases are rare and often misdiagnosed or overlooked. We report the case of an 80-year-old patient in whom an acrometastasis in the right long finger from a nasopharyngeal carcinoma was diagnosed. The treatment consisted of amputation through the proximal phalanx and resulted in a good recovery. To our knowledge, no case of acrometastasis from this origin has been reported in the literature to date. A literature review is also presented regarding acrometastasis diagnosis and treatment.
