Abstract

A case of phalangeal microgeodic disease is reported. A 6-year-old-girl had chilblain-like symptoms, such as spindle-shaped swelling and redness on the left middle finger. This case was diagnosed as phalangeal microgeodic disease by the clinical manifestations and plain radiographic findings. At follow-up five months later, the swelling had almost resolved and only a deformity of the middle phalanx of the left middle finger was observed without any dysfunction. It is known that this disease is self-limiting and no therapy is needed. However epiphyseal damage has been reported in some cases. It is very important to follow up patients with this disease carefully.
