Abstract
A 44-year-old man, previously healthy, consulted for a three-month history of asymmetrical polyarthralgia with inflammatory features involving small and large joints. A few days later, he developed erythema covered by pustules in the nail folds and progressive degeneration of the nail plate of the left thumb, with severe functional limitation. The physical exam showed well-defined erythematous scaly and pustular plaques in the first and third fingers of the left hand, with severe onychodystrophy, which was a key aspect in the diagnosis of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. Other signs of the psoriatic spectrum were observed: erythematous patches of the scrotum, erythematous scaly plaques with hemorrhagic crusts on both knees, and dactylitis. The diagnosis of inverse psoriasis, plaque psoriasis, and pustular psoriasis, respectively, were confirmed by histopathology and, with the CASPAR criteria, psoriatic arthritis. This case is of particular dermatological interest due to the variety of psoriatic manifestations recognized in a single patient and because of the poorly described association between acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau with psoriatic arthritis.

Un hombre de 44 años, previamente sano, consultó por poliartralgias asimétricas de características inflamatorias de tres meses de evolución, que comprometió pequeñas y grandes articulaciones. Poco tiempo después desarrolló pústulas periungueales sobre una base eritematosa y degeneración progresiva de la lámina ungueal del pulgar izquierdo, limitando severamente su funcionalidad. Destacó al examen físico la presencia de placas eritemato-escamosas y pustulosas bien delimitadas en el primer y tercer dedo de la mano izquierda con onicodistrofia severa, que fue un aspecto clave para establecer el diagnóstico de acrodermatitis continua de Hallopeau. Adicionalmente, se observaron otros hallazgos del espectro psoriático: parches eritematosos en el escroto, placas eritemato-escamosas con costras hemorrágicas en ambas rodillas y dactilitis. Se confirmó histológicamente el diagnóstico de psoriasis inversa, psoriasis en placas y psoriasis pustular, respectivamente y con los criterios de Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis, CASPAR, el diagnóstico de artritis psoriática.
