Abstract

Pachydermodactyly (PDD) is a benign, acquired digitalfibromatosis characterized by asymptomatic and progressiveswelling of periarticular soft tissue, and is usually seen inyoung men. The etiology of PDD is not fully understood, butis thought to be due to the result of recurrent mechanicalstimulation. PDD is usually diagnosed by clinical evaluation.There are thick collagen bundles and collection of dermalmucin in the histopathology. Treatment is not indicated dueto benign prognosis. Rheumatologic diseases, particularlyrheumatoid arthritis, affecting the joints of the hands shouldbe considered in the differential diagnosis due to the similarityof the joint involvement.

Özet

Pakidermodaktili (PDD), genellikle genç erkeklerde görülen, periartiküler yumuşak dokunun asemptomatik, ilerleyici şişliği ile karakterize benign edinsel dijital fibromatozdur. PDD’nin etiyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemekle beraber muhtemelen tekrarlayan mekanik stimülasyonun bir sonucudur. Tanı genellikle klinik olarak konur. Histopatolojide kalın kollajen demetleri ve dermal musin birikimi vardır. Benign seyir gösterdiğinden tedavi genellikle endike değildir. Başta romatoid artrit olmak üzere el eklemlerini etkileyen romatizmal hastalıklar, eklem tutulumunun benzerliğinden dolayı, ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir.
