Abstract

Pachydermoperiostosis, also known as Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome/Rosenfeld-Kloepfer syndrome/primary or idiopathic Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, is an autosomal-dominant/autosomal recessive inherited disorder with variable expression. In its complete form, it is characterized by pachyderma (thickening of the facial skin), skeletal changes (periostosis), excessive sweating (hyperhydrosis), and acropachia (digital clubbing). We report a patient with skeletal symptoms, associated with pachyderma and clubbing of fingers. Radiographs of patient showed periosteosis of distal end of long bones.We review the characteristic features of this syndrome. The patient required a close follow-up because of complications that might develop on the long-term.
