Varix of the digit is generally defined as an enlarged, tortuous palmar digital vein with or without thrombus within it. It usually presents as a firm, blue mass on the volar aspect of the finger. Mechanical compression or chronic trauma to veins on the volar surface of a digit appears central to the pathogenesis of this lesion. Aging phlebectasia has also been considered as a cause of this lesion in the elderly. A tourniquet test may be useful in demonstrating the presence of a digital varix, but it is confirmed by postoperative microscopic examination. Excision of a symptomatic lesion has proven to be curative. We report two cases of symptomatic digital varix which developed in the fourth finger with a review of literatures.
