“…The diagnosis is mainly clinical and focused on ruling out other causes, especially juvenile idiopathic, rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis 11. Although there is no worldwide accepted treatment for this benign condition, some specialists made trials with glucocorticoid injections and/or surgery with various successes 12–14…”

An otherwise healthy young man was referred to the rheumatologist because of bilateral proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint enlargements. The main concern was excluding the presence of inflammatory arthritis. Physical examination revealed bilateral PIP finger joints (II-IV) swellings and cutaneous thickenings in adjacent areas. The specificity of this case was the patient who appeared in the physician’s room with his violin suitcase pointing to his profession even from the first site. Complete blood count with leucocyte differentials appeared without changes. Radiographics failed to show joint fluid or bony changes. All immunological markers (RF, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) and laboratory data (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, etc) were within the reference ranges or negative. After exclusion of rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis, and considering the occupation of the patient and demographics the diagnosis of a rare condition–pachydermodactyly was made.

“…PDD is thought to be a result of excessive mechanical manipulation of the PIP joints, usually by repetitive minor trauma involving interlacing the fingers and repeated rubbing of the fingers [ 18 ]. It has been associated with OCD, GAD, various athletic and occupational activities that subject individuals to repetitive skin trauma, Asperger syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [ 4 , 5 , 11 , 14 , 16 , 17 ]. Russo et al have reported a rare case of familial pachydermodactyly [ 20 ].…”

We chronicle the case of a 39-year-old female who presented to the rheumatology clinic with a history of chronic, symmetrical polyarticular pain in her hands. Meticulous diagnostic workup to exclude ubiquitous culprit aetiologies, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, was performed. A detailed clinical examination was performed and, coupled with the radiological imaging findings, divulged an underlying diagnosis of pachydermodactyly. The patient was commenced on etoricoxib to alleviate the pain, and was advised to avoid repetitive trauma to her hands. The present report delineates a unique case of painful pachydermodactyly, affecting both proximal interphalangeal joints as well as distal interphalangeal joints. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case from the state of Kuwait. We further review the literature in order to better elucidate the varying clinical manifestations of an elusive and rare rheumatological condition.
