- Abstract
A case study is presented in which a 49-year-old female non-smoker with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) and lung cancer who developed acute digital ischaemia or necrosis related to her cisplatin chemotherapy. The chemotherapy was suspended and the gangrene on her fingers was managed by surgical debridement. The study concludes cisplatin chemotherapy can increase the risk of peripheral vascular complications.
