Abstract:

The thickened folded skin of Touraine-Solente-Gole syndrome can result in cosmetic and functional deformities. The treatment of pachydermoperiostosis is usually centered around improving the cosmetic appearance through plastic surgery. We describe the case of a 27-year-old male who had pachydermoperiostosis with a leonine facies that was managed with frontal rhytidectomy. A greatly improved cosmetic appearance was achieved with this procedure.

Keywords: Frontal rhytidectomy; pachydermoperiostosis; surgery
