Acro-Osteolysis


A condition with congenital and acquired forms causing recurrent ulcers in the fingers and toes. The congenital form exhibits autosomal dominant inheritance; the acquired form is found in workers who handle vinyl chloride. When acro-osteolysis is accompanied by generalized osteoporosis and skull deformations, it is called hajdu-cheney syndrome.
