Pencil-in-cup sign

Last updated

The pencil-in-cup sign is a radiologic sign indicating a deformity where fingers have the appearance of a pencil lying in a cup. [1] [2] [3] This sign is classically seen in psoriatic arthritis, but it is also reported in systemic sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. [4]
