  • Title: Metastatic carcinoma to the terminal phalanx of the big toe: report of two cases and review of the literature.
    Author: Baran R, Tosti A.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1994 Aug; 31(2 Pt 1):259-63. PubMed ID: 8040412.
    Abstract:
    Metastasis to the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. Phalangeal metastases commonly display inflammatory symptoms that mimic an acute infection. We describe two men with metastasis to the distal phalanx of the great toe. A review of the literature revealed 118 cases of nonmelanoma metastatic tumors to a distal digit.
