U. Wollina et al., Pseudoainhum of all fingers associated with Reynolds' syndrome and breast cancer: Report of a case and review of the literature, J AM ACAD D, 44(2), 2001, pp. 381-384
Pseudoainhum is a rare disorder characterized by digital constrictions lead
ing to autoamputation. We report a bilateral pseudoainhum of all fingers in
a 64-year-old fair-skinned woman with breast cancer, systemic scleroderma,
and primary biliary cirrhosis. The overlap between scleroderma and primary
biliary cirrhosis with antimitochondrial antibodies M2 is also known as Re
ynolds' syndrome. Although pseudoainhum has been associated with many condi
tions, this particular association is exceptional and has yet not been desc
ribed.
