          Abstract

          La paquidermoperiostosis es una enfermedad poco frecuente que se caracteriza por un engrosamiento de la piel en el cuero cabelludo, frente y párpados, también ocurre en la piel de manos y pies, con un engrosamiento concomitante de las estructuras óseas de las extremidades. El crecimiento acral hace sospechar acromegalia. Su presentación puede ser idiopática, con inicio en la adolescencia y estabilización en la tercera y cuarta década, es de origen genético, de transmisión autosómico dominante y penetrancia variable, o secundaria a enfermedades tumorales, principalmente pulmonares o intratorácicas de inicio en la cuarta y quinta décadas de la vida. El tratamiento para sus dos variedades es quirúrgico, ya sea reconstructivo tratándose de la primaria, con mejoría estética; o excisional en el caso de la secundaria, con regresión total o parcial a la normalidad. Se presenta el primer caso conocido en el ámbito de la medicina costarricense, a fin de dar a conocer esta patología al cuerpo científico y facilitar la detección de otros posibles casos. Esta es una enfermedad poco frecuente en el mundo y hasta ahora desconocida en nuestro país.

          Translated abstract

          The disease known as pachydermoperiostosis is of rare occurrence and is characterized by thickening of the skin folds on the forehead and eyelids and in the extremities. It is also accompanied by a gross thickening of the underlying the bony structures of hands and feet, raising the diagnostic possibility of acromegaly. It has two presentations, idiopathic, which is transmitted in an autosomic and dominant fashion with variability in its penetrance and starts in the teen years and halts progression in the third and fourth decades of life, the secondary type starts in the fourth and fifth decade and its secondary to a pulmonary or intrathoracic tumoral lesion. Treatment consists in either reconstructive surgery for the primary type, with cosmetic acceptable results and surgical excision in the secondary type with partial or complete regression of the disease. We present to our knowledge what is the first reported case in Costa Rica with the purpose of informing the scientific body in our country of the existence of the disease and to help detect any other possible cases.

            Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: rheumatologic manifestations.

            Arthropathy can occasionally be an early clue to the diagnosis of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA). Joint effusions are typically relatively non-inflammatory, while synovial membrane biopsies show a variety of vascular changes that suggest the consideration of several factors possibly involved in the pathogenesis of HOA.
