title: Severe complete pachydermoperiostosis (Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome).
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The thickened, folded skin of Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome (pachydermoperiostosis) can result in cosmetic and fuctional deformities.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To illustrate that simple surgical procedures can improve cosmetic and functional status.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report of a 33-year-old male with bilateral eyelid ptosis, enlargement of the eyelids, and a leonine facies owing to deep skin furrows managed with bilateral blepharoplasties and tarsal wedge resections, along with excision of multiple skin furrows.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A greatly improved cosmetic appearance was achieved with these standard procedures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The appearance of patients with pachydermoperiostosis can be greatly improved with standard surgical procedures.
