Abstract

Acral vascular syndrome clinically presents as digital ischemia with Raynaud's phenomenon and erythromelalgia but can be rarely seen in the malignant condition. Patients may present pain, permanent digital blanching or cyanosis, and desquamation or ulceration of the fingers. Acral vascular syndrome is rarely associated with lymphoid neoplasm and is associated with smoking, autoimmune connective tissue diseases, and vasculitis. Here, we describe a 79-year-old female who was diagnosed with vitiligo and peripheral T cell lymphoma Lennert type stage 4 with anemia of chronic disease with digital acral vascular syndrome.
