Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is an entity characterized by a triad of periostitis of long bones, clubbing and arthritis. Radiologically there are two patterns, one characterized by new bone formation which predominates in patients with pulmonary disease, and another by acro-osteolysis that is most frequently associated with congenital heart disease. We report the case of a 30-year-old man diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension for two years, developing hypertrophic osteoarthropathy with a mixed radiological pattern.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
