A case of pachydermaperiostosis in a 16 year old male is presented. The main clinical features were bilateral mechanical gonalgia, acropachy, bilateral palpebral ptosis and hyperhydrosis. The diagnosis was confirmed by X-ray, showing a wide, symmetric periostosis. The literature is reviewed and the differential diagnosis is commented on.

Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy (PHOAR1) is characterized by autosomal recessive loss of function variants in 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) leading to digital clubbing, periostosis, pachydermia, and severe hyperhidrosis. HPGD catalyzes the first step of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) degradation. Selective COX-2 inhibitors have proved beneficial in adults, though it is unknown if early initiation of COX-2 inhibitors can alter the natural history of PHOAR1.

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA: MIM 167100)) is classified into primary and secondary types. Primary HOA, also known as pachydermoperiostosis (PDP), is a rare genetic condition with distinct clinical features including digital clubbing, skin thickening, and periostosis. Secondary HOA often occurs as a paraneoplastic syndrome or is associated with systemic diseases.

Context: Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal and skin abnormalities. Genetic defects in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) metabolism are known to cause PHO. However, the global impact and clinical significance of eicosanoids and oxylipins beyond PGE2 remain to be elucidated.
