A case of adenoid cystic carcinoma of the submaxillary gland metastatic to the left great toe in a 52-year-old man is reported. The patient survived 10 months after diagnosis of the metastasis to the hallux. The well-documented cases of four other patients, two each with pulmonary and renal-cell carcinoma metastatic to the toe, are reviewed. Metastatic carcinoma to the toe as well as the finger typically mimics an inflammatory process. An osteolytic lesion of the phalanx of a toe or finger resembling an inflammatory process without a history of injury or infection should suggest the possibility of malignancy.
