    ObjectiveA 57-year-old female with a 33-year history of constant hand discoloration and paronychia had undergone multiple evaluations with a failure to find a diagnosis. She continues to undergo an evolving treatment regimen and diagnostic workup in an effort to find a long-eluded diagnosis.Clinical PresentationShe began to develop superficial ulcerations over the proximal phalanx of her fingers, often pruritic and erythematous, with pain and edema.InterventionShe has since been managed with nifedipine and sildenafil and intermittent stellate ganglion blocks.ConclusionDespite still lacking a formal diagnosis, her constellation of symptoms is most likely the result of an atypical presentation of Raynaud's disease.© 2019 The Author(s) Published by S.
