A young male patient came to OPD with complaints of excessive sweating over palms and soles since 8 months which was affecting his routine activities. He had taken treatment from few doctors but didn't get satisfactory results from anyone. Eventually he came to us with the same complaints. After taking detailed history & physical examination, we found some other findings which we thought were not related to his primary complaints like greying of hair. But eventually while searching for some syndromic associations, we unexpectedly found this rare case of Book's syndrome. Currently patient is having excellent results & responding nicely to our treatment.
