Pachydermadactyly is a rare form of digital fibromatosis. The disease is characterized by soft tissue swelling that affects the lateral aspects of the proximal interphalangeal joints of the fingers. Its possible triggers are recurrent minimal trauma of the fingers when feeling emotional distress. This disorder should be considered in the differential diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The disease is benign and does not require treatment. The article presents two cases of pachydermadactyly in adolescent boys.

Key words: pachydermodactyly; juvenile idiopathic arthritis; fibromatosis.
