| Popis: | Thyroid acropachy is a rare complication of autoimmune thyroid disease with characteristic imaging findings. Clinically, it presents as nail clubbing, swelling of digits and toes, almost always in association with thyroid ophthalmopathy and dermopathy. On radiographs, it manifests as prominent irregular and spiculated periosteal new bone formation in the hands and feet. We present a 52-year-old man with history of Graves’ disease who presented with swelling of the hands and feet. Radiographs of the hands and feet revealed marked diffuse soft tissue edema and characteristic periosteal new bone formation most consistent with thyroid acropachy. Keywords: Thyroid acropachy, Metabolic bone disease |
