  • Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy(HOA) is a systemic disorder characterized by proliferative periostitis of long bone and polysynovitis. Clubbing of the fingers and toes usually accompanies HOA. This syndrome is most frequently with lung cancer. Although disappearance of HOA with removal of the tumor is well known, very few typical cases are reported in Korea We report case of lung cancer with HOA, which was dramatically relieved after the surgical resection of the tumor.

  • Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome characterized by digital clubbing, periosteal bone formation, and synovial effusions. Secondary HOA is associated with intrathoracic malignancy in most cases; however, in rare cases, HOA can be caused by extrathoracic conditions. We report early ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and bone scintigraphy findings of HOA in a patient with breast cancer. Its ambiguous clinical and imaging findings that mimicked malignant conditions are particularly interesting and informative.

  • Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy(HOA) is a systemic disorder primary affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues and characterized by several(or all) of the followings ; 1) Clubbing of digits, 2) Persistent new bone formation particulary involving long bones of the distal extremites, 3) Symmetric arthritis-like changes in the joints and periarticular tissue, most commonly the ankles, knees, wrist, and elbows, 4) Increased thickness of the subcutaneous soft tissues in the distal one-third of the arms and legs, and 5) Neurovascular changes of the hands and feet, including chronic erythema, paresthesis, and increase sweating. Most of cases of HOA are secondary to intrathoracic neoplasms, while the remaining few cases are secondary to other disease in the chest or elsewhere. We experienced a case of HOA in association with lung abscess in 26-yr-old male and reported with a review of literatures.
