Marques P, Sapinho I, Korbonits M. Pseudoacromegaly-A challenging entity in the endocrine clinic: A systematic review. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf) 2024; 100:542-557. [PMID: 38549284 DOI: 10.1111/cen.15053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pseudoacromegaly encompasses conditions with features of acromegaly/gigantism, but no growth hormone (GH) or insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) excess. We aimed to review published pseudoacromegaly cases evaluated due to clinical suspicion of acromegaly. DESIGN/PATIENTS PubMed/Medline search was conducted to identify reported pseudoacromegaly cases, which were systematically reviewed to ensure they met eligibility criteria: (1) presentation suggestive of acromegaly; (2) acromegaly excluded based on normal GH, IGF-1 and/or GH suppression on oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT-GH); (3) diagnosis of the pseudoacromegaly condition was established. Data were retrieved from each case and analysed collectively. RESULTS Of 76 cases, 47 were males, mean ages at presentation and at first acromegaloid symptoms were 28 ± 16 and 17 ± 10 years, respectively. Most common conditions were pachydermoperiostosis (47%) and insulin-mediated pseudoacromegaly (IMP) (24%). Acromegaloid facies (75%) and acral enlargement (80%) were the most common features. Measurement of random GH was reported in 65%, IGF-1 in 79%, OGTT-GH in 51%. GH excess was more frequently excluded based on two tests (53%). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 30 patients, with pituitary adenoma or hyperplasia being reported in eight and three patients, respectively. Investigations differed between cases managed by endocrine and non-endocrine specialists, the former requesting more often IGF-1, OGTT-GH and pituitary MRI. CONCLUSIONS Pseudoacromegaly is a challenging entity that may be encountered by endocrinologists. Pachydermoperiostosis and IMP are the conditions most often mimicking acromegaly. Adequate assessment of GH/IGF-1 is crucial to exclude acromegaly, which may be better performed by endocrinologists. Pituitary incidentalomas are common and require careful judgement to prevent unnecessary pituitary surgery.

Abstract
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a genetic disorder mainly characterized by clubbing fingers, pachydermia and periostosis. Mutations in the HPGD or SLCO2A1 gene lead to impaired prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) degradation, thus elevating PGE2 levels. The identification of the causative genes has provided a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. PHO can be divided into three subtypes according to its pathogenic gene and inheritance patterns. The onset age, sex ratio and clinical features differ among subtypes. The synthesis and signaling pathways of PGE2 are outlined in this review. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is the key enzyme that acts as the rate-limiting step for prostaglandin production, thus COX-2 inhibitors have been used to treat this disease. Although this treatment showed effective results, it has side effects that restrain its use. Here, we reviewed the genetics, clinical features, differential diagnosis and current treatment options of PHO according to our many years of clinical research on the disease. We also discussed probable treatment that may be an option in the future.

Abstract
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare disease that mimics the clinical and radiographical manifestations of acromegaly. Therefore, it should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses in the evaluation of acromegalic patients. In this study, we discussed a case of PDP in a 24-year-old simple worker working in a food industry factory and reviewed the work restrictions caused by the complications of the disease.

Abstract
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by digital clubbing, pachydermia, and periostosis. We describe a Japanese male patient with PDP who was differentially diagnosed with acromegaly by identification of compound heterozygous variants in SLCO2A1. Recent studies have reported various clinical manifestations, as well as skeletal and dermal features, in patients with PDP. Genetic testing provided not only PDP diagnosis and differentiation from acromegaly, but also information about possible complications and comorbidities throughout life.

Abstract
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO), or pachydermoperiostosis, is characterized by a clinical association including digital clubbing, periostosis and pachydermia. SLCO2A1 and HPGD genes are both responsible for PHO. The pathology is classically defined as an autosomal recessive disorder with clinical variability ranging from a mild to more severe phenotype. However, the hypothesis for an autosomal dominant form suggested for a long time was only demonstrated for the first time in 2021 for SLCO2A1. We aimed to detect a second pathogenic variant by a deep sequencing of the entire SLCO2A1 and HPGD genes, associated with functional transcription analysis in PHO patients harboring only one heterozygous variant. Among 10 PHO patients, 4 presented a single pathogenic or probably pathogenic novel variant in SLCO2A1 in heterozygous status (NM_005630.3: c.234+1G > A, c.1523_1524delCT, c.1625G > A and c.31delC), and the others carried homozygous pathogenic variants. For heterozygous forms, we found no additional pathogenic variant in HPGD or SLCO2A1. PHO can be a dominant form with age at disease onset later than that for the recessive form. This dominant form is not exceptional in young adults. In conclusion, both modes of inheritance of PHO explain the clinical variability and the difference in age at disease onset. Molecular analysis is especially required in the incomplete form to distinguish it from secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rare diseases (RDs) affect less than 5/10,000 people in Europe and fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. In rheumatology, RDs are heterogeneous and lack systemic classification. Clinical courses involve a variety of diverse symptoms, and patients may be misdiagnosed and not receive appropriate treatment. The objective of this study was to identify and classify some of the most important RDs in rheumatology. We also attempted to determine their combined prevalence to more precisely define this area of rheumatology and increase awareness of RDs in healthcare systems. We conducted a comprehensive literature search and analyzed each disease for the specified criteria, such as clinical symptoms, treatment regimens, prognoses, and point prevalences. If no epidemiological data were available, we estimated the prevalence as 1/1,000,000. The total point prevalence for all RDs in rheumatology was estimated as the sum of the individually determined prevalences. RESULTS A total of 76 syndromes and diseases were identified, including vasculitis/vasculopathy (n = 15), arthritis/arthropathy (n = 11), autoinflammatory syndromes (n = 11), myositis (n = 9), bone disorders (n = 11), connective tissue diseases (n = 8), overgrowth syndromes (n = 3), and others (n = 8). Out of the 76 diseases, 61 (80%) are classified as chronic, with a remitting-relapsing course in 27 cases (35%) upon adequate treatment. Another 34 (45%) diseases were predominantly progressive and difficult to control. Corticosteroids are a therapeutic option in 49 (64%) syndromes. Mortality is variable and could not be determined precisely. Epidemiological studies and prevalence data were available for 33 syndromes and diseases. For an additional eight diseases, only incidence data were accessible. The summed prevalence of all RDs was 28.8/10,000. CONCLUSIONS RDs in rheumatology are frequently chronic, progressive, and present variable symptoms. Treatment options are often restricted to corticosteroids, presumably because of the scarcity of randomized controlled trials. The estimated combined prevalence is significant and almost double that of ankylosing spondylitis (18/10,000). Thus, healthcare systems should assign RDs similar importance as any other common disease in rheumatology.

Abstract
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 (SLCO2A1, also known as PGT, OATP2A1, PHOAR2, or SLC21A2) is a plasma membrane transporter consisting of 12 transmembrane domains. It is ubiquitously expressed in tissues, and mediates the membrane transport of prostaglandins (PGs, mainly PGE2, PGF2α, PGD2) and thromboxanes (e.g., TxB2). SLCO2A1-mediated transport is electrogenic and is facilitated by an outwardly directed gradient of lactate. PGs imported by SLCO2A1 are rapidly oxidized by cytoplasmic 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH, encoded by HPGD). Accumulated evidence suggests that SLCO2A1 plays critical roles in many physiological processes in mammals, and it is considered a potential pharmacological target for diabetic foot ulcer treatment, antipyresis, and non-hormonal contraception. Furthermore, whole-exome analyses suggest that recessive inheritance of SLCO2A1 mutations is associated with two refractory diseases, primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) and chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 (CEAS). Intriguingly, SLCO2A1 is also a key component of the Maxi-Cl channel, which regulates fluxes of inorganic and organic anions, including ATP. Further study of the bimodal function of SLCO2A1 as a transporter and ion channel is expected to throw new light on the complex pathology of human diseases. Here, we review and summarize recent information on the molecular functions of SLCO2A1, and we discuss its pathophysiological significance.

Abstract
Background SLCO2A1 was recently reported to cause nonspecific ulcers at small bowel, it was named as chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 (CEAS). It was rarely reported beyond the Japanese population. Case presentation A 4-year-5-month old girl presented with intractable anemia since 1-year-3-month. Her stool occult blood test was positive and the result of esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were normal. She was considered as obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The magnetic resonance enterography and ultrasound of small intestinal revealed segmental thickening of small bowel. The capsule endoscopy detected ulcers, erosion and slightly stenosis near the site of junction of jejunum and ileum. She was considered chronic non-specific multiple ulcers of the small intestine and was advised to have whole exon sequencing. She was treated with exclusive enteral nutrition and iron supplement for two months. However, she was not responsive to this treatment, then she had three doses of infliximab. At the same time, the next-generation sequencing of this patient revealed two novel compound heterozygous mutations in SLCO2A1. She was diagnosed with CEAS and was treated with oral mercaptopurine. Her hemoglobin level was stable and the serum albumin level was slightly decreased during the follow up. Conclusion CEAS may present as nonspecific small bowel ulcers, and misinterpret as small bowel Crohn’s disease. Genetic tests may help with the precise diagnosis of small bowel ulcers.

Abstract
Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) or primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by digital clubbing, pachydermia, and periostosis. Its pathogenesis is uncertain and the diagnosis is based on clinical and radiological data. A complete form of the syndrome is reported in a male patient with disease onset in adolescence, with compatible clinical and radiological findings, presenting the three cardinal findings as well as other associated manifestations, such as hyperhidrosis and acne.

Abstract
Objective To further disseminate the nomenclature of chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 (CEAS), especially for physicians in China and Korea where the genetic feature of SLCO2A1 gene mutations related hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and pachydermia had been extensively studied. SLCO2A1 gene mutations related hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and pachydermia had been extensively studied. Design A case report with literature review of SLCO2A1 gene mutations-related disorders. Results A 38-year-old Korean presented to a tertiary hospital with dizziness, abdominal pain and melena. He had a positive faecal occult blood test on initial workup. Oesophagogastroduodenal endoscopy (OGD), colonoscopy and CT scan were unremarkable and showed no obvious cause for his melena. Capsule endoscope and roentgen barium studies were performed, revealing an erythematous mucosa with ulcers in the jejunum and stenosis to the jejunal–ileal junction. Next-generation sequencing was then performed and discovered point mutations of SLCO2A1 gene’s seven exon (940+1 G>A) and 13 exon (1807 C>T) allele. This Korean patient with CEAS is the first documented case noted outside of the Japanese population. Conclusion CEAS is not uniquely found in Japanese individuals. There are lots of similarities between CEAS and primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, the two entity may just be the two sides of one same coin. International and multidisciplined efforts are required to further study this complicated disorder.

Abstract
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a rare familial disorder with reduced penetrance for females. The genetic mutations associated with PHO have been identified in HPGD and SLCO2A1 which involved in prostaglandin E2 metabolism. Here we report 5 PHO patients from 4 non-consanguineous families. Two heterozygous mutations in solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 (SLCO2A1) were identified in two brothers by whole-exome sequencing. Three heterozygous mutations and 1 homozygous mutation were identified in other 3 PHO families by Sanger sequencing. However, there was no mutation in HPGD. These findings confirmed that homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations of SLCO2A1 were the pathogenic cause of PHO. A female individual shared the same mutations in SLCO2A1 with her PHO brother but did not have any typical PHO symptoms. The influence of sex hormones on the pathogenesis of PHO and its implication were discussed.

Abstract
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is an inherited disease characterized by digital clubbing, periostosis, and pachydermia. Based on two causative genes, hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 (SLCO2A1), PHO is categorized into two subtypes: hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, primary, autosomal recessive 1 (PHOAR1) and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, primary, autosomal recessive 2 (PHOAR2). In this study, we summarized the clinical manifestations and analyzed SLCO2A1 gene in 23 PHOAR2 patients in our center. As a result, 18 patients displayed complete phenotypes of PHO with digital clubbing, periostosis, and pachydermia. 29 mutations were found in total, and 22 of them were novel mutations including 13 missense, three nonsense, four deletion, one frame-shift and one splicing site mutations. Compared with nine PHOAR1 patients we previously reported, PHO patients with SLCO2A1 mutations were all male and presented with a later onset age. Peptic ulcers and myelofibrosis occurred only in PHOAR2 patients. The urinary level of prostaglandin E2 metabolite (PGEM) is significantly higher in PHOAR2 patients than that in PHOAR1 group. In conclusion, this study was the largest cohort to date to summarize PHOAR2 patients and to assess the phenotypic difference between two subtypes of PHO. The difference of urinary PGEM concentration between two subtypes is helpful for the differential diagnosis of PHO.

Abstract
Solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 (OATP2A1, encoded by the SLCO2A1 gene), which was initially identified as prostaglandin transporter (PGT), is expressed ubiquitously in tissues and mediates the distribution of prostanoids, such as PGE2, PGF2α, PGD2 and TxB2. It is well known to play a key role in the metabolic clearance of prostaglandins, which are taken up into the cell by OATP2A1 and then oxidatively inactivated by 15-ketoprostaglandin dehydrogenase (encoded by HPGD); indeed, OATP2A1-mediated uptake is the rate-limiting step of PGE2 catabolism. Consequently, since OATP2A1 activity is required for termination of prostaglandin signaling via prostanoid receptors, its inhibition can enhance such signaling. On the other hand, OATP2A1 can also function as an organic anion exchanger, mediating efflux of prostaglandins in exchange for import of anions such as lactate, and in this context, it plays a role in the release of newly synthesized prostaglandins from cells. These different functions likely operate in different compartments within the cell. OATP2A1 is reported to function at cytoplasmic vesicle/organelle membranes. As a regulator of the levels of physiologically active prostaglandins, OATP2A1 is implicated in diverse physiological and pathophysiological processes in many organs. Recently, whole exome analysis has revealed that recessive mutations in SLCO2A1 cause refractory diseases in humans, including primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) and chronic non-specific ulcers in small intestine (CNSU). Here, we review and summarize recent information on the molecular functions of OATP2A1 and on its physiological and pathological significance.

Abstract
Pachydermoperiostosis is a very rare osteoarthrodermopathic disorder whose clinical and radiographic presentations may mimic those of acromegaly. In the evaluation of patients with acromegaloid appearances, pachydermoperiostosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis. In this article, we report a 17-year-old boy who presented with 2-year history of acral enlargement and facial appearance changes associated with joint pain and excessive sweating. He had been investigated extensively for acromegaly, and the final diagnosis was pachydermoperiostosis.

Abstract
Summary A 20-year-old man with an 8-year history of progressive enlargement of his hands
and feet, coarsening facial features, painful joints and thickened, oily skin was
referred for investigation of acromegaly. On examination, the subject was of
normal height and weight. He had markedly increased skin thickness around the
forehead, eyelids and scalp with redundant skin folds. Bilateral painful knee
swelling was accompanied by enlargement of the extremities, and his fingers were
markedly clubbed. Routine hematological, biochemical and hormonal blood tests,
including GH and IGF-1 were normal. The clinical picture suggested primary
hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHOA) rather than acromegaly and radiological
studies were supportive of this, demonstrating increased subperiosteal bone
formation and increased bone density and cortical thickening. There was widespread
joint disease, with narrowing of joint spaces, whereas the knees demonstrated
effusions and calcification. A skull X-ray revealed calvarial hyperostosis and a
normal sellar outline. Family history was negative. Genetic studies were performed
on peripheral blood leukocyte DNA for mutations in the two genes associated with
PHOA, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD; OMIM: 601688)
and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1
(SLCO2A1; OMIM: 601460). The sequence of HPGD was normal,
whereas the subject was homozygous for a novel pathological variant in SLCO2A1,
c.830delT, that predicted a frameshift and early protein truncation
(p.Phe277Serfs*8). PHOA, also known as pachydermoperiostosis, is a rare entity
caused by abnormal prostaglandin E2 metabolism, and both HPGD and SLCO2A1 are
necessary for normal prostaglandin E2 handling. High prostaglandin levels lead to
bone formation and resorption and connective tissue inflammation causing
arthropathy, in addition to soft tissue swelling. Learning points:

Primary Idiopathic Osteoarthropathy: Could It Be Related to Alcoholism? Case Rep Rheumatol 2017; 2017:2583762.

Abstract
Background. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome characterized by abnormal proliferation of the skin and bony structures at the distal extremities resulting in digital clubbing, periosteal bony reaction, and joint effusion. It can be primary (idiopathic) without any clear identifiable etiology as well as secondary to variety of systemic diseases most notably lung pathology. Case Presentation. We describe a rare case of primary idiopathic osteoarthropathy in a male patient who presented with severe pain and tenderness in his legs. His history was significant for long standing alcoholism. Physical examination showed severe fingers and toes clubbing. He reported similar changes in his mother. Clinical and radiological findings were remarkable for distal leg tenderness and diffuse periosteal bony reactions, respectively. Computerized tomography scan failed to show any pathology apart from fatty liver infiltration. In the absence of obesity or diabetes, this was consistent with alcoholic steatosis. He was started on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug which dramatically improved his symptoms. Conclusion. Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy should be considered in a previously healthy person presenting with bony pain and finger clubbing especially after ruling out the common secondary causes. Moreover, alteration of prostaglandin metabolism secondary to alcoholic consumption might be a contributing factor.
