Phalangeal microgeodic syndrome: case report of a  young woman treated with pentoxifylline

We report the case of a young woman presenting with joint pain in her feet, along with toe discoloration and redness, where a diagnosis of PMS was established based on magnetic resonance imaging findings and exclusion of other differential diagnostic entities. Pharmacological treatment was deemed necessary for symptomatic relief, but a trial of calcium channel blocker (CCB) was not tolerated by the patient. The patient was then started on pentoxifylline, with significant clinical improvement.PMID:38175270 | DOI:10.1007/s00393-023-01470-y
