Abstract:
Digital ischemia is a rare paraneoplastic phenomenon associated with several malignant tumours, particularly adenocarcinomas. The underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown and it can be the first manifestation, occur after the diagnosis or during treatment. We report a case of a 50 year old woman presenting with digital ischemia, whose diagnostic workup led to an invasive breast cancer, with significant improvement of digital ischemia after a successful treatment of the neoplasm.
