Article Abstract

Cutaneous manifestations of mixed neuroendocrine non-neuroendocrine neoplasms remain a diagnostic rarity. Predominantly identified within internal glandular organs, the digestive tract, and in the hepatobiliary system, this case report illustrates a unique occurrence of a mixed squamous cell and neuroendocrine tumor in the index finger of a justice-affected patient. We discuss the complexities of diagnosis and complications as well as emphasize the importance for hand surgeons to recognize presentations like this and the need for vigilant follow-up and improved care coordination.

Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a heterogeneous clinical presentation which may include macrocytic anemia typically presenting in the first year of life, growth retardation, and congenital malformations in 30%-50% of patients. This phenotypic variability is partially explained by genotype-phenotype correlations, with several ribosomal protein genes implicated in this disorder. Most cases are due to de novo variants, but familial occurrences highlight variable expressivity and reduced penetrance.
