Abstract
Mycotic pseudoaneurysms of upper extremities are an infrequent complication of endocarditis. We describe a case of mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the superficial palmar arch in a patient who had acute bacterial endocarditis. We discuss operative and pathologic findings and briefly review the literature on the subject.
