Abstract

Statistically, metastasis of carcinomas to pedal phalanges is rare. However, true to all bone metastases of the body, its presence is associated with a very poor prognosis. A case of metastatic sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma to the fifth toe is presented followed by a review of the literature.
