Knuckle pads.
Knuckle pads are well circumscribed thickenings of the skin over the metacarpophalangeal and, more commonly, the proximal interphalangeal joints. Although the association with several other clinical syndromes including Dupuytren's disease is well documented, most cases are idiopathic. We present a case of knuckle pads and briefly review the history and course of this disease.
متن کاملKnuckle pads in children.
Knuckle pads occur from benign thickening of the skin, principally the epidermis, and are occasionally seen in children. Despite the name, knuckle pads most commonly overlie the proximal interphalangeal joints. They must be differentiated from a variety of other cutaneous abnormalities. There is no consistently effective treatment, but knuckle pads have been reported to resolve spontaneously in...
متن کاملKnuckle pads – a rare finding
Knuckle pads are rare harmless subcutaneous nodules that must be differentiated from joint disease of the proximal interphalangeal or rarely of the metacarpophalangeal joints as well as from other masses of the paraarticular tissues. We present a case of an otherwise healthy 36-year-old woman presenting with bilateral knuckle pads located at the dorsal aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joi...
متن کاملKnuckle pads causing extensor tendon tethering.
A case of Dupuytren's contracture is described, in which, both clinically and histologically, knuckle pad lesions involved the extensor tendons. Surgical excision of the Dupuytren's tissue from the dorsal aspect of the proximal interphalangeal joints, freeing of the lateral extensor slips and posterior capsulotomy resulted in marked functional improvement.
متن کاملReport of a family with idiopathic knuckle pads and review of idiopathic and disease-associated knuckle pads.
Knuckle pads are a rare, frequently overlooked, thickening of the skin usually overlying the extensor surface of the proximal interphalangeal joints. They are well- circumscribed, benign lesions that generally do not require treatment. Idiopathic knuckle pads must be differentiated from similar appearing lesions or trauma-induced pseudo-knuckle pads. Knuckle pads have been observed in associati...
