Résumé
We report the case of a 51-year-old patient who presented necrosis affecting all of the toes in a context of confusion and declining general health. The etiology work-up disclosed a lung mass. Biopsy and search for extension led to the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma with liver metastasis. Unfortunately, symptomatic treatment of the digital necrosis did not lead to improvement and the patient was given palliative care. Digital necrosis generally affects the fingers. Localization on the toes is atypical and few cases have been reported in the literature.
