Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic connective tissue disease characterized by vasculitis, fibrosis, and autoimmunity. Based on the skin involvement, it is classified into diffuse cutaneous SSc and limited cutaneous SSc. We describe a patient presenting with bilateral digital tip gangrene after lifting heavy weights intermittently as the first symptom. On further investigation, he was diagnosed with SSc, making it a rare presenting complaint.
