Abstract

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, known as Pierre Marie Bamberger syndrome, is characterized by clubbing of the fingers due to bone surface and soft tissue calcification, historically known as pulmonary carcinoma paraneoplastic syndrome. The clinical symptoms can easily misdiagnosed as autoimmune diseases. We describe the case of a 66-year-old man who presented with dyspnea with clubbing of the fingers. The exploration reveal an adenocarcinoma. The evolution was fatal. This report has highlighted the importance of clinical awareness of the association between HOA and carcinoma of the lung.
