Abstract
Metastatic tumors of the hand are rare, with fewer than 200 cases reported in the literature. Renal cell carcinoma is among the most common tumors to metastasize, but we are not aware of reports of this tumor metastasizing to the carpal bones. We describe a case of renal cell carcinoma that metastasized to the triquetrum to draw attention to the potential for such lesions developing within the hand and wrist.
