A case of Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis associated with Raynaud's phenomenon and diabetes is reported. It is probable that Mönckeberg's arteriosclerosis could provoke a Raynaud's phenomenon when predisposing local conditions, such as microvasculature and/or haemorheological alterations, are present. Finally our findings seem to demonstrate that xeroradiographic investigation is most important for the early diagnosis of the disease.
