RESUMO
We describe a case of essential thrombocythemia (ET), presenting as digital gangrene. ET is a rare myeloproliferative disorder characterised by a persistently elevated platelet count which commonly presents with haemorrhagic manifestations. Thrombosis occurs less frequently and digital gangrene is an uncommon presentation.
