Abstract
Metastatic tumors to the foot are a rare phenomenon which are often initially misdiagnosed. This article reports two cases of head and neck carcinoma metastases to the foot which were initially diagnosed as infection. These tumors have not been reported previously as metastasizing to the feet. In addition, one of the cases had metastasis to the hand and foot. Only five previously reported cases of such a combination could be found in the literature.Keywords
