A clinic-pathological study of a 12 year-old male diagnosed of non-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) was carried out. The patients presented secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy prior to the development of lung metastases. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a clinic-radiological syndrome characterized by a neoformation of periosteal bone, fundamentally located in long bones and distal ends of metacarpal bones. Polyarticular and synovial involvement is also observed. Association between NPC and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is uncommon and appears to suggest the existence of metastatic spread (probably to the lung), particularly in young patients.

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.
