[Periarticular calcifications. A little-known sign of psoriatic arthritis].
The hands of 40 patients with psoriasis were examined by conventional and direct magnification radiograms. In 5 cases the hands showed typical psoriatic arthropathy. In 5 other cases only small calcifications in the soft tissues at distal interphalangeal joints were visible: according to clinical and laboratory data, these lesions could be in connection with psoriatic arthritis.
