Zusammenfassung:Pachydermoperiostosis or primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, also known as Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome, is a rare process, frequently inherited. In its complete form it is characterized by pachydermia (thickening of the skin), skeletal changes (periostosis) and acropachia (digital clubbing). We report a patient that consulted for skeletal symptoms, as the acropachia and cutaneous manifestations (thickening of the skin of the face, scalp, hands and feet) went unnoticed due to their slow and progressive development. We review the characteristic features of this syndrome. We highlight the importance of ruling out secondary forms of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and of a close follow-up of these patients because of complications that might develop on the long-term.
