[A rare cause of swelling of the little finger]. / Een snelgroeiende zwelling van de top van de pink.

ABSTRACT

A 71-year-old man presented with a painful swelling of the tip of his little finger. Infection was considered, but antibiotics and incision did not give relief. Biopsy showed metastasis of anal carcinoma, for which he had been treated 7 years earlier with curative chemoradiotherapy. He underwent amputation of the finger.
