Abstract
The case of a 38-year-old white man with digital papillary adenocarcinoma is presented. It is a lesion of the skin often occurring in the digits of the hand or of the feet. This disease is rare and has not been reported in the plastic surgical or orthopedic literature to date. A case report is presented here along with our rationale for aggressive surgical treatment consisting of amputation.
