Multiple subungual soft tissue metastases from a chondrosarcoma.

ABSTRACT

Chondrosarcoma metastasises to the lungs and from there to other organs. A patient with several metastases in the soft tissues of the fingers and toes had previously been treated for a chondrosarcoma of the foot. Subungual metastases of chondrosarcoma are unusual and there is no evidence based treatment. We therefore treated the lesion of the finger by total resection of the nail (RO).
