RÉSUMÉ
Acroosteolysis (AOL) refers to a destructive process involving distal phalangeal shaft while the tuft and base are preserved. It can be a manifestation of various diseases, such as scleroderma, Raynaud's disease, rheumatoid vasculitis, psoriasis, renal osteodystrophy and leprosy. Occupational exposure to polyvinyl chloride polymers, thermal injury, and repetitive mechanical injury can also cause this problem. Although the exact pathogenesis of AOL is uncertain, a unifying theme of vascular and mechanical injury is presented. Recently, we experienced a 32-year-old woman complained of xerophthalmia, zerostomia and polyarthralgia which was diagnosed as Sj6gren syndrome associated with acroosteolysis. After administration of prednisolone, cyclophosphamide and oral bromhexine, subsidence of her symptoms was observed. We report this case with a review of relevant literature.
