ABSTRACT
Acrometastasis, especially in the hands and fingers, is a rare clinical condition resulting from primary cancers such as lung, breast, kidney, and, rarely, thyroid cancer. Acrometastasis tends to be the tip of the iceberg in patients with extensive systemic disease, which could be regional, pulmonary, skeletal, neurological, or all of them combined. Even though these tumors are clearly visible and symptomatic, the diagnosis is usually misleading because such distal metastatic disease is not thought of at first. In general, systemic treatments should be given to any patient presenting digital acrometastasis. We describe two cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma and digital acrometastasis as a sign of advanced disease.
