An unusual skin lesion may be a primary skin cancer or a sign of internal malignancy, Metastatic lesions to the hand are rare. The authors describe a patient who presented with a nodule of the digital pulp, Workup, including X-ray films and biopsy, revealed a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma invading the distal phalanx.
