Özet

A 54 years old man who admitted with thoracolomber pain and pain at left knee had history of left pneumonectomy four months ago for squamous cell lung carcinoma. At physical examination swelling and hotness at the left knee, swelling and redness of the distal phalanx of the right third finger were found. Distal phalanx was not observed at the X-ray which was taken for suspect of metastasis. Incision biopsy was performed from this lesion and microscopic findings of the material were evaluated as metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Bone metastasis are seen frequently at bronchial carcinoma, but hand metastasis are seen in 0.2% of all cases. This case is represented because of the rare metastatic localisation of bronchial carcinoma.
