Abstract

The thickened folded skin of Touraine‐Solente‐Golé syndrome can result in cosmetic and functional deformities. The treatment of pachydermoperiostosis is usually centered around improving the cosmetic appearance through plastic surgery. We describe the case of a 27‐year‐old male who had pachydermoperiostosis with a leonine facies that was managed with frontal rhytidectomy. A greatly improved cosmetic appearance was achieved with this procedure.
