Abstract
Since 1967, about 40 cases of digital necrosis associated with neoplas ia have been reported. We report a new case of digital necrosis associ ated with an ovarian carcinoma and with a lupus-like syndrome. Immunol ogic cross-reactivity to tumoral antigen could explain the lupus-like syndrome.
