This paper describes a woman with pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) who had intractable lymphoedema and also abnormal dermatoglyphics. The findings were quite distinct from those in two previously reported cases of pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). Dermatoglyphics may prove useful in the diagnosis of PPHP but may also provide a clue to the factors which distinguish PPHP from PHP.
