Abstract:
Pachyonychia congenita (PC) is a rare hereditary disease, mainly characterized by a painful palmoplantar keratoderma, thickened nails, cysts and white lesions of the oral mucosa. Its clinical manifestations are very variable, it may appear from birth to adulthood. This study report the case of a child with pachyonychia congenita associated with bronchiectasis and renal artery stenosis. The diagnosis of pachyonychia congenita was retained based on clinical and histological data. However the presence of renal artery stenosis and bronchiectasis suggests a possible association as part of a particular syndromic group.

Renal Tubule and Collecting Duct
Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
