Abstract
A 60-year-old man presented with swelling, pain, and tenderness at the ulnar side
of his left wrist. Imaging studies demonstrated an osseous lesion in the left hamate
bone. Histopathology study of the lesion revealed that the lesion was an isolated
osseous metastatic carcinoma. The metastasis was the first presentation of this occult
malignancy. The patient was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy; however, he
expired 20 months after the diagnosis. This is a level IV study.
