Severe complete pachydermoperiostosis (Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome).
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.
