Abstract

Pachydermodactyly is a rare, distinct form of digital fibromatosis characterized by acquired, asymptomatic, bulbous swellings on the back and side of the proximal phalanges or proximal interphalangeal joint areas of fingers. It occurs mostly in men. There have been many cases treated with intralesional injection of corticosteroids, however, only a few by surgical excision. We report a case of pachydermodactyly, involving both fingers, in a young female. She was treated with surgical excision and recovered, with no sign of sequelae, during a follow-up period of 6 months.
