Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy manifests as digital clubbing, subperiosteal new bone formation in tubular bone and diffuse skin hypertrophy. It could be either primary or secondary. We report a 31-year-old man presenting with digital clubbing and diffuse skin thickening which started at puberty. X-rays showed subperiosteal new bone formation. All examinations for secondary causes were negative.
