Presentation
We present a case of an adult woman who presented with unilateral upper limb acrocyanosis and hypertension which was secondary to EAP and resolved completely after surgical removal of the tumour. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Therefore the skin damage and ulcerations seen in Raynaud's disease are not present in acrocyanosis. Lastly, Raynaud's disease goes through a typical triphasic or biphasic color change. [ahni.com]
Entire Body System
- Pallor
It was associated also with pallor of the face and trunk, slower pulse rates and higher fasting plasma glucose levels. Acrocyanosis could represent a more extreme form of a heat conserving mechanism not uncommon in anorectics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] ac·ro·cy·a·no·sis | \ ˌak-rō-ˌsī-ə-ˈnō-səs \ plural acrocyanoses \ -ˌsēz \ Medical Definition of acrocyanosis : blueness or pallor of the extremities usually associated with pain and numbness and caused by vasomotor disturbances (as in Raynaud's disease [merriam-webster.com]
Acrocyanosis is differentiated from Raynaud’s phenomenon by relative persistence of skin color changes, and absence of paroxysmal pallor. However, episodes of Raynaud’s superimposed on acrocyanosis are not uncommon and may complicate the diagnosis. [pcds.org.uk]
Arterial pulses are normal, and there is no proximal pallor, ulceration or gangrene. 1,2,4 Clinical features of acrocyanosis may also include: Hyperhidrosis of hands and feet Cold hands and feet Swelling of digits Secondary acrocyanosis The presentation [dermnetnz.org]

The most useful tests are the skin temperature differences (STD) between wrist and end of fingers (or ankle and end of toes) and oscillometry over the radial and dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial arteries. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Described over a century ago and despite seeming familiarity, it remains a poorly understood condition that shares much in clinical presentation with other conditions characterized by skin color changes in the distal parts of the body. [mayoclinic.pure.elsevier.com]
The condition does not worsen over time. Since acrocyanosis can be present alongside a serious medical condition affecting the cardiovascular system or connective tissue, it is best to seek the advice of a doctor or medical professional. [acadiafootandankle.com]
The disorder itself cannot be remedied, but does not worsen over time. [brightfootclinic.com]
Liver, Gall & Pancreas
- Jaundice
This condition is called jaundice. It is common in newborns, and only occasionally requires special treatment. Rash: Your infant’s tender and sensitive skin commonly reacts to his new environment. [intermountainhealthcare.org]
JAUNDICE – Also known as icterus, it is the yellowing of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes due to accumulation of bile salts in these tissues. It is indicative of several diseases such as hepatitis. [buylowdrugs.com]
The infant's birth history was unremarkable except for neonatal physiological jaundice treated with phototherapy for 5 days. His past history was noteworthy only for a history of constipation. [link.springer.com]

Half of these children experienced additional symptoms such as pain, tingling, and numbness. Interestingly, 11% (9/82) of children with primary RP were lmisdiagnosed as "acrocyanosis" and 4 of them were younger than 2 years of age. [link.springer.com]
- Headache
The patient commonly present with headache, palpitation, anxiety, diaphoresis, raised blood pressure and heart rate which can be sustained or episodic and less commonly Raynaud's phenomenon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Whereas cyanosis can be appreciated for methemoglobin levels between 10% and 20%, other symptoms, such as respiratory distress, dizziness, headache, and fatigue, usually appear at levels between 20% and 50%. Higher levels induce lethargy and stupor. [healio.com]

Workup
Extensive medical workup has been unrevealing. The blue color resolves almost entirely when her hands or feet are elevated in a supine position for a few minutes. [mhmedical.com]
Since our patient's clinical presentation (age, sex, clinical features) and blood workup was consistent with primary RP, he was not evaluated for capillary nailfold abnormalities. [link.springer.com]
Treatment
Long-term interferon treatment has been related to autoimmune side effects. Raynaud's phenomenon has been observed in patients undergoing interferon treatment associated with elevated ANA titers, to cryoglobulinemia or to arterial occlusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Regardless of its cause, the benign form typically does not require medical treatment. [en.wikipedia.org]

Acrocyanosis Treatment As it was mentioned above, in the majority of the situations, no treatment is recommended (nor available). [mddk.com]
Prognosis
Prognosis Even though acrocyanosis cannot be cured, the prognosis remains positive. The prognosis is not as good, in the situation that there is an underlying condition causing the acrocyanosis, such as cancer (associated risk of death). [mddk.com]
