Abstract
In 1952, Albright for the first time found Pseudo-Pseudohypoparathyroidism (P. P. H.), as a syndrome of anatomic anomalies similar to Pseudohypoparathyroidism (namely, short stature, round face, short metacarpal or metatarsal bone and ectopic ossification), with normal serum concentration of calcium and phosphate. Since 1952, many cases were reported all over the world. But we have never seen the report in Japan. Recently, we have experienced a young girl (10 years) who had characteristics for P.P. H. with suggestive, familial occurrence. This case is presented and the nomenclature of related clinical entities was discussed together with the statistics of P. P. H. in literature.
