Abstract
The case of a 64-year-old man with biopsy-proven, cutaneous acral meta stasis on two fingertips, from a breast adenocarcinoma is reported. Th is man concomittantly suffered from a lung epidermoid carcinoma and in sulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. We emphasize the rarity of this cas e and the pathogenic role of repeated trauma (control of blood levels of glucose) at the location of these metastases on the patient's finge rtips.
