Zusammenfassung:    Acro-osteolysis is the osseous destruction of the hand or foot distal phalanges. The categories of the disease include terminal tuft, midshaft, or mixed types. Recognition of acro-osteolysis is straightforward on radiographs, but providing an accurate differential diagnosis and appropriately recommending advanced imaging or invasive tissue diagnosis can be more elusive. A radiologist’s ability to provide advanced assessment can greatly aid clinicians in expedient diagnosis and management of the array of diseases presenting with acro-osteolysis.
