Clinical diagnosis of PDP is based on a triad of digital clubbing, pachydermia with coarse facial features, and radiographic evidence of long bone periostosis. It can manifest in a complete or incomplete form, with skin involvement distinguishing the complete subtype. The etiology of PDP remains uncertain, though it has been associated with pathogenic variants in genes involved in prostaglandin E2 metabolism genes (HPGD) in autosomal recessive primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy-1 and SLCO2A1 in autosomal dominant primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. We present a 31-yr-old male with complete PDP with atypical clinical features of vertebral involvement, severe myelopathy and radiculopathy, mild digital clubbing, and frontal pachydermia. IGF-1 and HGH levels were normal despite the acromegalic features. Genetic testing did not identify variants in HPGD or SLCO2A1. The patient exhibited elevated bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels and increased BMD, supporting the diagnosis of PDP. Iliac crest bone biopsies were technically difficult and contained only dense cortical bone. Dermatologic manifestations were managed with glycopyrrolate, dupilumab, and topical treatments. His bone disease was treated with intravenous bisphosphonates, yielding a marked decrease in bone-specific alkaline phosphatase levels. This case reveals the necessity of considering PDP in differential diagnoses for patients with atypical acromegalic features and highlights the potential for vertebral involvement in PDP, expanding the understanding of its clinical presentation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jbmrpl\/ziaf055","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,8]],"date-time":"2025-05-08T21:17:34Z","timestamp":1746739054000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Familial complete pachydermoperiostosis presenting with vertebral hypertrophy and myelopathy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Eric","family":"Honaker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN 46202 ,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Birkhead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky College of Medicine , Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kennedy","family":"Guillen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky College of Medicine , Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Knuckles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatologist , Richmond, KY 40475,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florence","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology , Bone and Mineral Metabolism, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuri A","family":"Zarate","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics Genetics and Metabolism , University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carter","family":"Cassidy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine , University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hartmut H","family":"Malluche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology , Bone and Mineral Metabolism, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madhumathi","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Nephrology , Bone and Mineral Metabolism, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Lexington, KY 40536,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1530\/EDM-17-0029","article-title":"Pachydermoperiostosis: a rare mimicker of acromegaly","volume":"2017","author":"Abdullah","year":"2017","journal-title":"Endocrinol Diabetes Metab Case Rep"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1210\/js.2016-1084","article-title":"Pachydermoperiostosis masquerading as acromegaly","volume":"1","author":"Karimova","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Endocr Soc"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"477","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0004.2005.00533.x","article-title":"Pachydermoperiostosis: an update","volume":"68","author":"Castori","year":"2005","journal-title":"Clin Genet"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"450","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joco.2019.03.001","article-title":"Pachydermoperiostosis: a clinicopathological description","volume":"31","author":"Tabatabaei","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Curr Ophthalmol"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.5070\/D3215027529","article-title":"Pachydermoperiostosis, a unique entity with distinctive clinical features","volume":"21","author":"Tinoco-Fragoso","year":"2015","journal-title":"Dermatol Online J"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"98","DOI":"10.1016\/j.abd.2019.04.009","article-title":"Complete form of pachydermoperiostosis","volume":"95","author":"Honorio","year":"2020","journal-title":"An Bras Dermatol"},{"key":"2025052713273700800_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"727","DOI":"10.1016\/j.berh.2011.10.019","article-title":"Miscellaneous non-inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions.
