Tarsal metastases in a patient with rectal cancer

DJ Sebag-Montefiore, KS Lam and SJ Arnott
Department of Radiotherapy, St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, UK.

Bone metastases from colorectal cancer are uncommon and usually present late in the natural history of metastatic disease. This case report describes a 48-year-old man who developed an unusual distribution of bony metastases with multifocal osteolytic tarsal metastases 50 months after excision of a rectal carcinoma. An open biopsy was required to establish the diagnosis, exclude osteomyelitis and allow palliative radiotherapy to be given.
