History ▶ Hand pain in two different patients 病史:两位不同患者手部疼痛。 Findings In the first patient (Fig. 26.3), marked erosion and resorption of the distal phalangeal tufts are noted with associated resorption of the soft tissues of the fingertips worse at the fifth digit (small white arrows). In the second patient (Fig. 26.4), amorphous calcifcation in the soft tissues of the second through fifth fngertips with mild distal sof tissue resorption is noted (white arrows). Note also the erosive destruction of the second distal phalanx (arrowhead). 影像表现: Teaching Points ▶ Scleroderma, or progressing systemic sclerosis, is a chronic disease that affects the skin, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and musculoskeletal system. ▶ 46% of patients with this disease have arthropathy, which is limited to the hands and wrists. ▶ Resorption of the soft tissues of the fingertip with or without amorphous calcifcations is the frst visible radiographic change. ▶ Radiographic changes include: 1. Resorption of the soft tissues of the fingertip 2. Subcutaneous calcifcations 3. Erosions of the distal tufts (which may progress to resorb entire tuft) 4. Acrosclerosis ▶ Occasional erosive disease of the IP joint or first CMC joints may be seen. 要点: Notes: 1.
