Division of Cardiovascular Diseases and Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic and Mayo Foundation, Rochester, Minnesota Persistent digital ischemia is an uncommon paraneoplastic syndrome. We describe a 71-year-old man whose only manifestation of an underlying adeno carcinoma was digital ischemia. His symptoms responded dramatically to bilat eral dorsal sympathectomies. A thorough search for the mechanism producing the ischemia failed to provide an explanation. We assume that unknown neuro- humoral factors produced by the tumor were responsible.
