Abstract

Yashpal Verma, Ashok K Chauhan and Harmeet Singh

Metastasis to small bones (Acrometastasis) alone is uncommon and is usually a sign of occult/ manifest advanced disease, therefore warrants active search for other sites of spread. Carcinoma urinary bladder is among the rare primary sources for acrometastasis, only three (3) cases being reported so far in the literature. We report a case of carcinoma urinary bladder with metastasis to small bone of hand (metacarpal) in a 65 year Asian male to add a case to this list.
