Autoamputation

It is usually due to destruction of the blood vessels feeding an extremity such as the finger tips.

These chronic wounds might be due to some vascular and pathogenic conditions[4] like Buerger disease or Reynaud's phenomenon.

There have been reported cases of ovarian autoamputation in a newborn[6] and also in a mature ovary of adults.

This is accompanied by inadequate supply of blood to the heart and other body parts (ischemia) leading to the degeneration of the cells, a condition known as atropy.

[3] Chronic or subacute autoamputation is evident in the attachment of the tumor to other cells surrounding it.
