| Abstrakt: | Case: A 62-year-old woman presenting with ankle pain was initially treated for a non-displaced fracture. Persistent pain despite months of conservative management for her presumed injury prompted repeat radiographs which demonstrated the progression of a lytic lesion and led to an orthopedic oncology referral. Following a complete work-up, including biopsy and staging, she was diagnosed with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the distal fibula. Conclusion: Secondary tumors of the fibula are uncommon but an important diagnosis to consider for intractable lower extremity pain especially in patients with history of malignancy or lack of age-appropriate cancer screening.
