Popis:	SUMMARY A common abnormality of the veins of the fingers in elderly persons, with characteristic clinical features, is described. A survey shows that this is an age related condition. There was little evidence of an association with other abnormalities of the veins elsewhere. Histological findings were of dilated veins with thickened walls, and of larger circular thin walled lesions which were occasionally thrombosed. Approximately half of the subjects surveyed showed evidence of these changes and there were no differences by sex. It seems that these lesions are properly included in the classification of the ageing phlebectasias and possible factors in their production are discussed.
