Abstract
Skin lesions occurring over the knuckles can be a primary or characteristic manifestation of a disorder. Characteristic knuckle lesions may also be important cutaneous features of various internal disorders when they serve as useful clinical pointers, as well as may speak of the disease severity in certain instances. Furthermore, knuckle lesions also speak of various external factors as the underlying cause of the disease/lesions, such as trauma - occupational or otherwise, and contact dermatitis. Although knuckles essentially imply dorsal aspect of the metacarpophalangeal joints, many of the lesions described as those 'involving the knuckles' are seen over the proximal and/or less frequently, the distal interphalangel joints as well. This review presents a compilation of various inherited and acquired dermatoses and dermatological manifestations of various internal disorders associated with different forms of knuckle lesions.

Abstract
Pachydermodactyly (PDD) is a rare, benign disease associated with progressive swelling of the periarticular soft tissue of phalangeal hand joints typically treated with local steroid injections. We present a case of a 37-year-old man with PDD treated with local steroid injections. He later developed heterotopic ossification and para-articular calcifications in the injection sites. Heterotopic ossification is not associated with PDD nor is it a recognised complication of local steroid injections. This is the first case in literature of heterotopic ossification occurring after local steroid injection and brings to attention a new potential complication of a widely performed procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES Pachydermodactyly is a rare, benign fibromatosis located around the proximal interphalangeal joints. It is often misdiagnosed as juvenile idiopathic arthritis and may cause unnecessary treatments and anxiety in patients. The goal of this paper is to describe this condition through all the existing information in the scientific literature. METHOD A systematic review and a descriptive study have been conducted. A systematic research was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and WOS. RESULTS Pachydermodactyly was four times more frequent in male subjects and usually started in adolescence. Bilateral presentation was more frequent. History of microtrauma in both hands due to digital manipulation was found in almost half of the patients, many of them showed some neuropsychiatric disorder. In women, the onset happened later, unilateral involvement and family history were more frequent. Swelling of soft tissue without joint implication was found in imaging tests. The progression was usually positive and the treatment included stopping the microtrauma, administrating intralesional corticoids and/or surgery. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis can be established in asymptomatic young patients through a congruent physical exam, regular analytic results and imaging tests that simply show swelling of soft tissue-a biopsy is generally not required for diagnosis. As pachydermodactyly's course is asymptomatic and benign, knowledge about this condition is limited, which increases the likelihood of its underdiagnosis-it is important that clinicians know of pachydermodactyly in order to avoid misdiagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pachydermodactyly, a benign and self-limiting cause of cutaneous fibromatosis, is an under-recognized condition. This little-known condition is important, as it mimics inflammatory arthropathy. CASE REPORT A 16-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of progressive, asymptomatic soft tissue swelling of the proximal interphalangeal joints (PIPJs) affecting the second to fourth fingers bilaterally. He had participated in kayaking for the last 1-2 years. Physical examination revealed only painless, saccular, subcutaneous swelling around the PIPJs. Plain radiograph and MRI showed cutaneous thickening around the PIPJs, with no evidence of arthropathy. Blood investigations including inflammatory markers and autoimmune panel were normal. Skin biopsy showed thickened collagen in the dermis, acanthosis, and hyperkeratosis. The patient and family opted for observation and cessation of kayaking. Follow-up at 2 years showed stable disease. A diagnosis of pachydermodactyly was made. CONCLUSIONS Progressive, asymptomatic swelling of proximal interphalangeal joints, especially in young males, should prompt the consideration of pachydermodactyly as a potential differential diagnosis. Because of its benign course, correct recognition can help to prevent undue patient anxiety and avoid inappropriate investigation and treatment.

Abstract
Fibromatoses are a group of benign connective tissue tumors characterized by the infiltrative, aggressive proliferation of well-differentiated fibroblasts, leading to frequent local recurrence. Within this heterogeneous disease group, superficial fibromatoses show slower growth and more benign infiltration of surrounding tissues than deep fibromatoses. Superficial fibromatoses relevant to dermatology include palmar, plantar, and penile fibromatosis, knuckle pads, pachydermodactyly and infantile digital fibromatosis. They present clinically with subcutaneous nodules or cords that lead to local infiltration and limited mobility of the affected areas. Treatment options vary from watchful waiting, non-invasive methods such as radiotherapy and intralesional corticosteroid/collagenase injections to radical surgical procedures. Early intervention may disrupt disease progression and may even restore functional ability. These disorders should therefore be recognized and treated early in the course of the disease.

Abstract
Pachydermodactyly is a rare and benign disease that may be idiopathic, genetic, acquired as a response to repetitive trauma, or associated with several other acquired conditions often pushing the health caregiver to do a bunch of costly lab tests and diagnostic workups to rule out other entities. All health care givers must be aware about this disease for reassure the patients and cut unnecessary costs. Moreover, there seems to be an issue of association with certain occupations. A good example might be computer keyboards causing special damages to certain organs like eyes and musculoskeletal system. We have observed deleterious effects of excess work with computer keyboards on fingers in the form of Pachydermodactyly in our case. A 27-yr-old man presented with wider hand span and longer fingers to Dermatology Clinic of Rasoul-E-Akram Hospital in June 2015, especially the ring finger in our case, considered a big symptom who depressed due to their fingers appearance as a rare disease. We gave him an emollient to make his hand smoother. The patient improved both clinically and psychologically on a simple emollient. This disease with its deleterious psychological effects and a simple way of management should be appreciated more by the health care system.
