Description
Summary:Psoriatic onychopachydermoperiostitis (POPP) is a very recently-described uncommon variant of psoriatic arthritis. It is characterized by psoriatic onychodystrophy or onycholysis, soft tissue thickening over distal phalanx and periosteal reaction with absence of distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) involvement. POPP may involve nails of any finger or toe. However, nails of great toes are involved in most reported cases in literature. [1] We herein report a case of POPP involving only the right great toe, and this could be an early marker for development of psoriatic arthritis.
