title: [Pachydermodactyly. Sequela of obsessive-compulsive neurosis].
abstract: Pachydermodactyly is an acquired, asymptomatic swelling of the lateral sides of the fingers and is seen mainly in young men. The formal pathogenesis is a benign fibromatosis. The casual pathogenesis was until now unclear, although we believe, that exogenic factors are the main reason. Consequently Pachydermodactyly has to be considered as a result of compulsion neurosis.
