Colon adenocarcinoma with metastases to the scaphoid: a case report and review of the literature

m_rjz011f01.png?Expires=1549737396&Signa

Abstract
Metastases to the hand and wrist are extremely rare, with <250 cases described in the literature. We present a case of acrometastasis of colon adenocarcinoma to the scaphoid in an 81-year-old male. Adenocarcinoma of the colon metastasizes to bone in an estimated 10% of cases; however, we are unaware of reports of this tumor metastasizing to the scaphoid or to any of the other carpal bones. We were able to identify only two cases of scaphoid metastases in the literature. This case highlights the potential for metastatic disease and other lesions to develop in the scaphoid and carpus.
