Siana, Department of Plastic Surgery and Burn Treatment, Hvidovre Hospital of Copenhagen, Kettegards Alle 30, DK 2650 Hvidovre, Denmark. We report a case of deliberate intra-arterial injection of dextropropoxyphene into the palms, leading to chronic oedema of both hands. The aetiology is discussed. This cause must be borne in mind in the diagnosis of chronic oedema of the hands.
