True aneurysms of the arteries of the hand are vanishingly rare. We report a case detailing the surgical management of a 44-year old gentleman with a true common digital artery aneurysm. This report adds to the current sparse literature on digital artery aneurysms and their presentation, investigation and management. Keywords: Digital artery aneurysm, Plastic surgery, Hand surgery, Microvascular surgery
