[Cutis verticis gyrata and pachydermoperiostosis. Several cases in a same family. Initial results of the treatment of pachyderma with isotretinoin].
This is a case report of four patients of the same family with pachyderma. Their clinical findings are discussed in regard of a review of the literature. Also, because there are few data on effective treatment, their dramatic improvement with isotretinoin is of significant interest.
