Abstract:
Case report on a diabetic patient aged 68 years, who was operated on a cervical carcinoma by the method of Wertheim-Meigs. 3 weeks later a panaritium of the right little finger developed. X-ray examination resulted an osteoclastic process. The histology of the amputated end limb of this finger demonstrated a metastasis of a squamous cell carcinoma. The patient died 49 days after operation. Autopsy found a massive development of tumor with multiple far metastases.
