Abstract
Metastases to the bones in the foot are extremely uncommon, occurring in approximately 0.01% of all metastatic bone disease. We describe a case of an 82-year-old female with a metastatic pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma lesion to the midfoot. This rare and aggressive pulmonary malignancy has a poor prognosis. 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.
