Isolated Calcaneal Metastasis

A 63-year-old woman initially presented with progressive left foot pain for 3 months, not responding to conservative management. MRI of the left foot showed a suspicious lesion in calcaneus. An open biopsy was consistent with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Tc-MDP total-body bone scintigraphy was ordered for possible other bony lesions, and only left calcaneus lesion was identified on bone scan. CT scan of the chest revealed a soft tissue mass in the superior aspect of the right lower lobe. Staging FDG PET/CT showed hypermetabolic right lung mass and left calcaneus lesion. She received chemotherapy and local radiation to the left calcaneus metastatic lesion.
