VALVERDE, J; TIMANA, D  and  RAMIREZ, A. TOURAINE -SOULENTE-GOLÉ SYNDROME: CASE REPORT. Rev. argent. dermatol. [online]. 2019, vol.100, n.2, pp.71-80. ISSN 1851-300X.

Pachydermoperiostosis or primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, also known as Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome, is a rare disorder, frequently inherited, characterized by periostitis of long bones,pachydermia (thickening of the skin) andacropachia. Expression tends to be variable, and so complete versions of the syndrome are infrequent. Abnormalities in fibroblast functionality have been implicated, along with an increase in collagen fibers´ synthesis.We report the case of 32-year-old man that consulted for cutaneous manifestations (thickening of face, scalp, hands and feet´s skin) since 18 years-old. We highlight the importance of the complete form of presentation and due to its similarity to other diseases.

Keywords : pachydermoperiostosis; primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy; Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome; periostosis.
