[Pachydermodactyly].

INTRODUCTION: Histologically pachydermodactyly results from fibromatosis. Characteristically, the clinical picture occurs almost exclusively in young men. The lesion is localized on the laterodorsal aspect of the proximal phalanges of both hands. CASE REPORT: We observed a 19-year-old man with deformity of the laterodorsal aspect of the first phalanx of the fingers on both hands which had been present for several years. The clinical course and histology of the deformity as well as the lack of any bone lesions led to the diagnosis of pachydermodactyly. COMMENTS: Pachydermodactyl is a rare disease. Our case was comparable to those reported in the literature. A mechanical cause is accepted by most authors.

[Forum: dermopigmentation or medical tattooing. Needles and ink].

Tattooing has been performed since ancient times. It has survived religions, development of education, wars and all forms of repression. Tattooing has gained a new lease of life at a time when this practice appeared to be dying out; why? In reality, tattooing corresponds to a need to be different, to make oneself attractive and to see oneself as a unique being and the age of uniformity in which we live is a very important factor for requests for dermography. Techniques have progressed together with conditions of asepsis and sterilisation. Until the profession of tattooist is officially recognised, it will always be associated with the idea of sordid techniques in makeshift quarters. The very survival of this artistic profession requires serious training and standards of hygiene. Failure to recognise this profession would result in its prohibition in the short-term, leading to clandestine activity in which standards would obviously not be respected.
