Although digital gangrene is an uncommon clinical feature, it may lead to serious complications, such as amputation. Therefore, it requires prompt evaluation and treatment. Digital gangrene is often seen in systemic sclerosis, but is rare in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In SLE, digital gangrene results from vasculitis, vasospasm, and thromboembolism. Here, we report a 15-year-old male SLE patient who initially presented with digital gangrene, and present a review of the relevant literature. (Korean J Med 2013;84:141-144)
