title: [Pachydermodactyly : A rare but benign consequence of repetitive movement patterns].
abstract: Pachydermodactyly is an acquired swelling of the lateral aspects of the fingers and is thought to be a reactive pattern due to exogenous factors, such as repetitive mechanical friction. We describe the clinical case of a 17-year-old male patient who presented with the typical symptoms of pachydermodactyly.
