Acrometastasis is an exceedingly rare condition and is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. We herein describe a 50-year-old patient who developed acrometastasis in the big toe from nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The treatment consisted of amputation through the proximal phalanx, and the patient recovered well. To our knowledge, only one case of acrometastasis from this origin has been reported in the literature to date. Acrometastasis indicates a poor prognosis, and we should choose appropriate treatment to relieve symptoms and benefit the patient.
肢端转移是一种极为罕见的情况，常被误诊或漏诊。我们在此描述了一例 50 岁的患者，其因鼻咽癌而在大脚趾发生肢端转移。治疗方法为经近节趾骨截肢，患者恢复良好。据我们所知，目前文献中仅报道过一例源自该部位的肢端转移病例。肢端转移预示着预后不良，我们应选择合适的治疗方法以缓解症状并使患者受益。
