Abstract
Skeletal metastases of neoplastic lesions are common but are rarely en countered in the hand. We describe a patient who presented with metast ases to the hand and who died one year later of squamous cell carcinom a of the lung. The aetiology, clinical findings and treatment of neopl astic metastases of the hand are discussed.
