Acro-osteolysis associated with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and pachydermoperiostosis. 1985

B Joseph, and V Chacko

The authors report two cases of marked acro-osteolysis. One patient, a 16-year-old boy, had hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy associated with bronchiectasis, clubbing of the digits, synovitis, and osseous changes. The other patient, a 55-year-old man, had pachydermoperiostosis as well as synovial hypertrophy, clubbing of the digits, blepharitis, and a cataract. While the association of acro-osteolysis and pachydermoperiostosis has been reported before, this appears to be the first verified case of acro-osteolysis combined with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy.

D010004	Osteoarthropathy, Primary Hypertrophic	A condition chiefly characterized by thickening of the skin of the head and distal extremities, deep folds and furrows of the skin of the forehead, cheeks, and scalp, SEBORRHEA; HYPERHIDROSIS; periostosis of the long bones, digital clubbing, and spadelike enlargement of the hands and feet. It is more prevalent in the male, and is usually first evident during adolescence. Inheritance is primarily autosomal recessive, but an autosomal dominant form exists.

D010005	Osteoarthropathy, Secondary Hypertrophic	Symmetrical osteitis of the four limbs, chiefly localized to the phalanges and the terminal epiphyses of the long bones of the forearm and leg, sometimes extending to the proximal ends of the limbs and the flat bones, and accompanied by dorsal kyphosis and joint involvement. It is often secondary to chronic conditions of the lungs and heart.
