Whittling of the ends of phalanges, metacarpals, and metatarsals and cupping of the proximal ends of the articulating bones through erosions progressing from marginal areas in a central direction. Though it may be seen in many different disorders, it has always been primarily associated with psoriatic arthritis.

Effilement de la tête des phalanges, des métacarpiens et des métatarsiens dû à des érosions osseuses progressant souvent de la périphérie vers le centre et creusant en cupule la base de la phalange correspondante. Cet aspect est classique dans la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, mais serait particulièrement fréquent dans le rhumatisme psoriasique. [D'après RYRHY, 19787, p. 266 et SEZOS, 1982, p. 759a.] 3, record 1, French, - image%20de%20pointe%20de%20crayon%20dans%20une%20cupule
