title: Pachydermodactyly in a young girl: cutaneous manifestation of a psychiatric disorder?
abstract: ; Pachydermodactyly is a benign process characterized by painless fusiform skin swellings affecting radial and ulnar aspects of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers. We report a case of this condition in a young girl, suggesting a major role of psychiatric disorder in the development of cutaneous lesions.
