Only seven cases of metastasis to the trapezium have been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a single metastasis to the trapezium from a gastric adenocarcinoma. Patient concerns: A 62-year-old man presented with pain and massive swelling in the right carpometacarpal joint of the thumb. Diagnoses: The patient was diagnosed with trapezial metastasis of advanced gastric adenocarcinoma. Interventions: The patient underwent systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin and S-1, radiotherapy to the metastatic bone, and treatment with denosumab. One year later, the huge metastatic tumor was resected, and the hand was reconstructed using vascularized scapular bone. Outcomes: Eighteen months postoperatively, the patient was satisfied with the appearance of the reconstructed hand and was able to use his right thumb in activities of daily living. Lessons: Although rare, metastasis to the trapezium should be considered in patients with persistent and progressive thumb CMC joint pain.}, title = {Massive trapezial metastasis from gastric adenocarcinoma resected and reconstructed with a vascularized scapular bone graft: A case report}, volume = {96}, year = {2017} }
