“…Cutis verticis gyrate, facial coarsening, hyperhidrosis, seborrhoea and acne are common in pachydermoperiostosis as well as in acromegaly. However, other manifestations characteristic in pachydermoperiostosis, but not seen in acromegaly, are blepharoptosis, long eyelashes, myelofibrosis, hypoalbuminemia, peptic ulcer, gastric cancer or watery diarrhoea in response to certain triggers, such as cold drinks, greasy food or sexual activity [1]. Pachydermoperiostosis diagnosis is often established by geneticists or rheumatologists; however, these patients may be first referred for investigation of possible GH excess to an endocrinologist, as in our case and in several cases reported in the literature, thus we should be aware of pachydermoperiostosis as a pseudoacromegaly condition and aid in establishing its diagnosis [1].…”
