    abstract = "Background: Acrometastases are very rare and have been identified in
only a few cases on the foot. At the onset, they might be misdiagnosed
as arthritis. Case Report: A 59-year-old woman with isolated metastasis
to the talus, originating from breast carcinoma was treated by
radiotherapy, letrazole, and intravenous bisphosphonates. Results: The
review of the literature revealed that this is the first case of an
isolated metastasis to the bone of talus from a breast carcinoma, while
there are a few cases originating from other organs. The differential
diagnosis of acrometastases may be difficult. Conclusion: Pain in the
foot or hand of a patient with a known history of malignancy should be
considered as potential metastasis."
