Digital Necrosis and Lupus-Like Syndrome Preceeding Ovarian Carcinoma

Since 1967, about 40 cases of digital necrosis associated with neoplasia have been reported. We report a new case of digital necrosis associated with an ovarian carcinoma and with a lupus-like syndrome. Immunologic cross-reactivity to tumoral antigen could explain the lupus-like syndrome.
