Abstract
Pachydermodactyly is a benign, superficial fibromatosis frequently obs erved in young males, We describe the condition in two young girls aff ected by Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and tuberous sclerosis, respecti vely, We hypothesized that in the patient with tuberous sclerosis, pac hydermodactyly is a clinical manifestation of the associated systemic disease, whereas obsessive-compulsive behavior is probably the main ca use in the girl with EDS.
