Pachydermoperiostosis is characterized by soft-tissue hyperplasia that gives patients a classic appearance of tarsitis leading to massively thickened tarsal plates and consequential ptosis. The authors describe a patient with the classic eyelid findings, the pathologic evaluation of the eyelid, and the presence of asymptomatic myelofibrosis.
