BACKGROUND: Pseudo-ainhum is defined as any case of auto‐amputation not associated with the classic spontaneous ainhum seen in Africans with unknown etiology. CASE PRESENTATION: A severely ill 58-year-old male patient presented with a painless constricting circular band on his left second toe. His medical history was remarkable for severe alcoholic liver cirrhosis with ascites formation leading to dyspnea. He had a hypoalbuminemia and a pronounced peripheral sensory neuropathy. CONCLUSION: Here we present the second case of pseudo-ainhum associated with liver cirrhosis.
