Abstract
Late and solitary skeletal metastasis of malignant phaeochromocytoma although rare, can occur in the distal femur mimicking a primary bone tumor. Wide surgical excision and simultaneous endoprosthetic reconstruction should be considered as a treatment option. This not only permits limb salvage and early rehabilitation, but also restores form and function of the limb.
