Abstract

Toe necrosis has many aetiologies. The most common one is ischaemia. In fact, both direct and indirect toe necrosis, as well as related lower limb gangrene, could be secondary to mechanical trauma, infections, pharmacological sensitivity, cancer, blue toe syndrome and other granulomatous diseases. We report a case of toes necrosis caused by an uncommon aetiology.
