    Abstract

    Metastatic malignant deposits in joints are rare and only 16 cases have been described. The details of three further cases are presented, a girl with Hodgkin's lymphoma in a sternoclavicular joint, an elderly lady with carcinoma of the ascending colon and knee metastases and a middle-aged man, also with knee deposits, from an adenocarcinoma of lung. The clinical features together with details of synovial fluid cytology of all 19 cases are analysed.
