Popis: We report a Cambodian girl with digital clubbing, profuse hyperhidrosis, and joint and leg pain and swelling. She also had extensive acro-osteolysis of distal phalanges as well as generalized osteoporosis. There was no other affected person in the family, but her parents were first cousins. Although the X-ray changes are unusual, this patient probably represents a case of pachydermoperiostosis, either occurring as a new mutation or inherited as an autosomal recessive syndrome.
