Abstract:
Pachydermoperiostosis is a rare hereditary syndrome characterized by finger clubbing, periosteal new bone formation of tubular bones, and hypertrophic skin changes (pachydermia). This syndrome is known to be associated with a variety of diseases such as cranial suture defect, female escuchen, bone marrow failure and autonomic nervous system symptoms such as facial flushing and hyperhidrosis. There are just a few reports documenting gastric ulcer, hypertrophic gastropathy and Crohn's disease as associated diseases. A case is herein reported of pachydermoperiostosis accompanied by hypertrophic gastropathy and early gastric cancer.
