Abstract:
A case of Thibièrge-Weissenbach-syndrome is reported, representing a special form of scleroderma combined with subcutaneous and periarticular calcifications, both belonging to the group of collagen diseases. Because of painful calcifying deposits in both hands a 53 year-old woman was examined in our out-patient department. Besides extirpation of massive calcifications, fusion of the first carpometacarpal joint was performed because of destruction of this joint.
