Abstract
- We experienced a Korean patient with complete form of pachydermoperiostosis. He presented with typical features consisting of clubbing with spade like enlargement of the hand and feet, thickening of facial skin and scalp, irregular thickening of cortex with periosteal new bone formation involving radii, ulnae, tibiae, and fibulae. Classically, pachydermoperiostosis is characterized by a triad of finger clubbing, periostitis, skin and soft tissue changes, giving an acromegaloid look. A variety of associated abnormalities have been described such as cranial suture defects, female escutcheon, bone marrow failure. There are a few reports documenting gastric ulcer, hypertrophic gastropathy and Crohn's disease as accompanying diseases. The patient had upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by hemorrhagic gastritis and duodenal ulcer. A case is herein reported of pachydermoperiostosis accompanied by peptic ulcer disease.
