Journal of Clinical Rheumatology (JCR), 03/09/09
Taylor-Gjevre R et al. - The authors report a 39-year-old man with pachydermodactyly resulting in progressive digital deformation. Pachydermodactyly is a rare superficial benign digital fibromatosis affecting the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPs). This patient had flexion deformities and mal-alignment primarily at the PIPs with associated soft tissue swelling. Radiographs revealed nonerosive subluxation. Surgical examination and biopsy with subsequent immunohistopathological study, revealed increased collagen production and proliferation from both fibroblasts and myofibroblasts consistent with pachydermodactyly.
