A Report of Two Cases of Metastatic Lung Cancer Simulating Gout

Gregory D Middleton

Metastatic carcinoma to the foot is a rarely reported event, and may easily be mistaken for more common problems such as acute gout. Furthermore current emphasis on PET scanning for tumor surveillance may not include the distal lower extremities. The author presents two cases of metastatic lung cancer to the distal lower extremity that were initially thought to represent gout.
