[Bony metastases of the fingers. Apropos of 3 cases. Review of the literature].

Bone metastases of fingers are rare, are of highest incidence in men 40 to 60 years, and may reveal the presence of a primary cancer. Radiologic imaging shows almost constant osteolytic lesions, the primary usually being located in the bronchi. Short-term prognosis is poor, with a mean survival of three and a half months. Bone biopsy should be conducted routinely to determine nature of lesion in fingers.
