摘要

A 62-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of shortness of breath, weight loss and painful swelling of the great toe. Examination elicited an ulcerated swelling of the right great toe, thought to be an ingrowing toenail. Chest ‘crackles' and an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node were detected. Biopsies of the toe swelling and bronchi both showed squamous cell carcinoma, confirmed radiologically as stage IV lung cancer. The patient was referred for palliative amputation of the toe. Cancer metastases to the digits may arise in bone, before enlarging to invade skin, or arise in skin first. 20-60% of cutaneous metastases present before or at the same time as the primary lung tumour. Cutaneous metastases and those in the digits indicate very poor prognosis. Their prompt diagnosis and management can dramatically improve a patient's quality of life and should be strived for.
