| Popis: | The authors present a case of breast cancer metastasizing to the calcaneus that was confirmed by bone biopsy. The patient's complaint of heel pain provided the initial evidence of skeletal metastasis. Metastatic spread of cancer to the hand or foot (acrometastasis) is considered rare. However, the possibility of acrometastasis should be considered in any patient with a history of cancer presenting with skeletal pain, especially if the symptoms do not respond to therapy. |
