You are studying for an upcoming exam, and must pass it to receive credit for the
course.
You are provided with a picture of the scalp of a 37-year-old man who has a 4-year
history of increrasing skin folds on his scalp, excessive sweating, headaches, and
joint pains. Physical examination shows ridges and furrows and thickening of the
skin on his scalp (see picture, below). The digits of his hands and feet are "spaded"
and his jaw is protuberant and exhibits an overbite.
What is your diagnosis, what test(s) would you order to confirm your diagnosis, and
what treatment, if any, do you recomment?
