Spindle cell haemangioendothelioma in an arteriovenous fistula of the ring finger after blunt trauma.
We present a case of traumatic arteriovenous fistula of the palm and ring finger, which posed management dilemmas and eventually necessitated ray amputation. Subsequent histology revealed a spindle cell haemangioendothelioma that had developed within the fistula. We report the clinical features and management of this patient.
