[Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy as indicator for bronchial carcinoma].
Clubbing of the fingers and periosteal bone formation are the typical signs of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, which mostly is a secondary manifestation of an underlying disease. Reporting a case of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in association with bronchial carcinoma, we stress the importance of an extensive diagnostic evaluation with chest X-ray as a first step.
