Zusammenfassung:Abstract Metastases to the bones in the foot are extremely uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.01% of all metastatic bone disease.

The purpose of the present case report was to highlight the key roles that medical history and biopsy, combined with a multispecialty approach, play in accurately diagnosing and appropriately treating a patient with metastatic bone disease.
