myeloproliferative disorders or as a part of tropical diabetes hand syndrome which follows trauma. Peripheral arterial disease in diabetics
commonly involves lower limbs. The present case, 45–year–old diabetic, presented with dry gangrene in fingertips of both hands for last two
weeks without any history of trauma or lower limb gangrene. On examination and workup of the patient was found to have bilateral upper
