Conclusion
We report the first known case of a soft-tissue metastasis distal to the wrist from a primary bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma. This report highlights the extremely uncommon presentation of soft-tissue acral metastatic disease of a bronchogenic squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. Although exceedingly rare, oncologists and physicians who manage pathology of the hand should consider metastatic disease when evaluating a patient with complaints of hand pain and a soft-tissue mass, especially in a patient with a known primary malignancy.
