Article Synopsis
- Pachydermodactyly is a rare, benign condition affecting the proximal interphalangeal joints, often mistaken for juvenile idiopathic arthritis, leading to unnecessary treatments and patient anxiety.
- A systematic review of scientific literature revealed that this condition predominantly affects males, typically begins in adolescence, and is linked to microtrauma from digital manipulation and various neuropsychiatric disorders.
- Diagnosis can usually be made through physical exams and imaging, without the need for a biopsy, since it tends to be asymptomatic and benign; thus, clinicians need to be aware of it to prevent misdiagnosis.
