A rare presentation of lung squamous cell carcinoma metastasis to the distal phalanx of the little finger: a case report

Abstract

Abstract Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. Early detection is the most important factor that affects the prognosis of lung cancer patients. The distal phalanx is a highly unusual metastatic site of lung cancer, and is often misdiagnosed, especially when accompanied by trauma. Herein, we present the case of a 68‐year‐old male patient who injured his right little finger. We hope this rare case will help clinicians to better diagnosis acral metastases of lung cancer to prolong patient survival.
