title: Spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the hand.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysm of the hand is rare. Few cases have been reported in the literature, and these cases are usually related to trauma. Early treatment is recommended for pseudoaneurysm after it has been diagnosed. We report the surgical treatment of spontaneous pseudoaneurysm of the hand in a patient who was undergoing anticoagulant therapy.
