چکیده

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a pathology characterized by digital clubbing of the hands and feet, extremity enlargement secondary to bone and periarticular tissue proliferation, joint pain and edema, bilateral eyelid ptosis, leonine face and skin thickness.1,2 It is classified as either primary (pachydermoperiostosis) or secondary. The primary form, or idiopathic, is considered rare, corresponding to 3-5% of all cases.
