Benign soft tissue swelling affecting the interphalangeal joints can sometimes be misdiagnosed as an arthropathy. Garrods fatty pads (knuckle pad syndrome) is a relatively common and harmless condition characterized by discrete fibromatous skin pads over the dorsum of the interphalangeal joints. We describe a case which clinically resembles the rare but benign condition of pachydermodactyly with some pathological features of the distinct syndrome of pachydermoperiostosis. The possibility of an overlap syndrome is discussed.
影响指间关节的良性软组织肿胀有时可能被误诊为关节病。加罗德脂肪垫（指节垫综合征）是一种相对常见且无害的病症，其特征是指间关节背侧出现离散的纤维瘤性皮肤垫。我们描述了一例临床症状类似于罕见但良性的厚皮性厚甲症，同时具有厚皮性骨膜病独特综合征的一些病理特征的病例。文中讨论了重叠综合征的可能性。
