ABSTRACT

Background: The cutis verticis gyrata is a very rare clinical sign, consisting of thickening and folding of the scalp as grooves and convolutions that simulate the surface of the brain.
Clinical case: A 28-year-old male patient, black, originally from The Gambia, subjected to periodic health checks, without any pathological history of interest and without symptoms of any kind at the time of the medical visit. He attended to the office after discovering a cutis verticis gyrata in the crown area just after shaving his hair. The history and initial physical examination data were highly unremarkable and suggestive of essential primary cutis verticis gyrata.
Conclusion: Any asymptomatic carrier of cutis verticis gyrata on the scalp with a biopsy lacking pathological elements and with normal analytical and hormonal results has a high probability of suffering from pachydermoperiostosis.
