Ainhum is an acquired progressive condition presenting with a constriction ring around the fifth toe. Classically, it was reported in people of African origin and has been very rarely reported in India. Ainhum when diagnosed and treated early can be prevented from progressing to mutilating deformities. It needs to be differentiated from pseudo ainhum, which may have a precipitating factor, and careful history may reveal a preventable cause. We report a case of ainhum with involvement of the left fifth toe and early involvement of other toes.

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.
