The etiology of PDD remains unknown, but it usually affects healthy males around the age of puberty. It can be misdiagnosed as inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially as juvenile chronic arthritis. Here, we report a case of PDD in an 18-year-old man who had progressive fusiform swelling of the PIP joint on his left middle finger. Although he had no pain or functional limitation of movement, he chose to undergo surgical resection of the lesion to obtain a conclusive diagnosis and to rectify the deformity\u2019s appearance. Histologically, the lesion was characterized by coarse fibrosis in the adipose tissue, peripheral nerve fibers, and eccrine glands; this is compatible with a diagnosis of PDD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2015\/242078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,24]],"date-time":"2015-11-24T21:00:59Z","timestamp":1448398859000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Surgical Management of Unilateral Soft Tissue Swelling around the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint in an Adolescent: A Case Report of Pachydermodactyly"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2015","author":[{"given":"Naoki","family":"Kato","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Saitama Hand Surgery Institute, Saitama Seikeikai Hospital, 1721 Ishibashi, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama 355-0072, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mamoru","family":"Niitsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Saitama Medical University, 38 Morohongo, Moroyamacho, Iruma, Saitama 350-0451, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tetsuya","family":"Kawabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University, 1981 Kamoda, Kawagoe City, Saitama 350-8550, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eiichi","family":"Arai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Saitama International Center, Saitama Medical University, 1397-1 Yamane, Hidaka City, Saitama 350-1298, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keizo","family":"Fukumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saitama Hand Surgery Institute, Saitama Seikeikai Hospital, 1721 Ishibashi, Higashimatsuyama City, Saitama 355-0072, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"98","reference":[{"key":"1","first-page":"455","volume":"80","year":"1973","journal-title":"Bulletin de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Fran\u00e7aise de Dermatologie et de Syphiligraphie"},{"issue":"3","key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"313","DOI":"10.1590\/S0365-05962004000300007","volume":"79","year":"2004","journal-title":"Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1684\/ejd.2008.0543"},{"issue":"9","key":"4","first-page":"632","volume":"121","year":"1994","journal-title":"Annales de Dermatologie et de Venereologie"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/132854"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2230.2010.04003.x"},{"issue":"4","key":"7","first-page":"247","volume":"125","year":"1998","journal-title":"Annales de Dermatologie et de Venereologie"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.rhu.0000158543.74005.7e"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1346-8138.1996.tb04045.x"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archdermatol.2012.983"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/s0365-05962009000200014"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpeds.2009.04.035"}],"container-title":["Case Reports in Orthopedics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2015\/242078.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2015\/242078.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2015\/242078.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,24]],"date-time":"2017-06-24T00:18:52Z","timestamp":1498263532000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/crior\/2015\/242078\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015]]},"references-count":12,"alternative-id":["242078","242078"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2015\/242078","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-6749","2090-6757"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-6749","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-6757","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015]]}}}
