Abstract
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) is a rare syndrome that causes clubbed fingers, periostitis, and synovial effusions. It can adversely impact a patient's quality of life. It occurs secondary to pulmonary disease - most commonly pulmonary malignancy. The most effective treatment for HPOA is to treat the underlying disease, usually through surgical resection, chemotherapy, or radiation. However, symptomatic treatments rather than definitive treatments (surgical, chemotherapy, or radiation) are more appropriate for the palliative care patient. Pamidronate is a promising medication for the treatment of HPOA for its safety and rapid onset of action. Further research is indicated to determine whether pamidronate is consistently effective.

Abstract
For patients that present with musculoskeletal symptoms, diagnostic procedures carried out by physicians and rheumatologists are primarily aimed at confirming or excluding the occurrence of primary rheumatic diseases. Another important trigger for musculoskeletal disease, however, is the presence of a tumour. Careful clinical investigation and knowledge of the gestalt of musculoskeletal syndromes related to respective tumour entities is of utmost importance for the diagnosis of paraneoplastic rheumatic diseases such as hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, paraneoplastic polyarthritis, RS3PE syndrome, palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis, cancer-associated myositis and tumour-induced osteomalacia. This places great responsibility on rheumatologists in diagnosing malignancies and referring the patient for effective treatment. The selective influence of tumours on musculoskeletal tissue is surprising and indicates that tumours alter tissues such as the periosteum, synovial membrane, subcutaneous connective tissue, fascia, muscles and bones by specific molecular processes. Some of the underlying mechanisms have been unravelled, providing valuable information on the physiologic and pathophysiologic roles of mediators such as vascular endothelial growth factor and fibroblast growth factor 23.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic syndromes are signs or symptoms that occur as a result of organ or tissue damage at locations remote from the site of the primary tumor or metastases. Paraneoplastic syndromes associated with lung cancer can impair various organ functions and include neurologic, endocrine, dermatologic, rheumatologic, hematologic, and ophthalmological syndromes, as well as glomerulopathy and coagulopathy (Trousseau’s syndrome). The histological type of lung cancer is generally dependent on the associated syndrome, the two most common of which are humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy in squamous cell carcinoma and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion in small cell lung cancer. The symptoms often precede the diagnosis of the associated lung cancer, especially when the symptoms are neurologic or dermatologic. The proposed mechanisms of paraneoplastic processes include the aberrant release of humoral mediators, such as hormones and hormone-like peptides, cytokines, and antibodies. Treating the underlying cancer is generally the most effective therapy for paraneoplastic syndromes, and treatment soon after symptom onset appears to offer the best potential for symptom improvement. In this article, we review the diagnosis, potential mechanisms, and treatments of a wide variety of paraneoplastic syndromes associated with lung cancer.

Abstract
Pachydermodactyly is a superficial benign fibromatosis of unknown etiology; it is rare, more frequent in adolescent males, and characterized by painless swelling of the proximal interphalangeal joints(PIP) of the hands. Histologic examination of the skin shows epidermal hyperplasia and increased number of dermal fibroblasts and collagen fibers.We report the case of a 16-year-old adolescent boy who presented swelling of the lateral and dorsal regions of all the metacarpophalangeal and PIP joints of the left hand and PIP and metacarpophalangeal joints of the second and fifth fingers of the right hand, with 3 years of evolution and no arthritis or functional impairment. Results of complementary diagnostic examinations were normal, with the exception of hand ultra sound that showed skin thickening, without synovial proliferation or joint effusion. Skin biopsy confirmed pachydermodactyly. The patient under went aesthetic surgery with good outcome, without recurrence.This rare condition should be distinguished from idiopathic juvenile arthritis and other entities such as knuckle pads syndrome.

Abstract
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy is a paraneoplastic syndrome seen in patients with lung cancer. This condition is characterized by the presence of digital clubbing, periosteal thickening, synovial thickening, and severe pain of the affected joints. Other syndromes exhibiting clubbing may or may not have underlying diseases causing their manifestation. An example is primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, or pachydermoperiostosis. While clubbing makes up part of the clinical picture in both hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, the latter has no underlying disease associations. Rather, primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is familial, idiopathic, and has a chronic course often beginning during puberty in males. Secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is an acquired form of clubbing that is classically associated with lung disease. However, it has also been associated with diseases of the heart, liver, and intestines. In the setting of pulmonary malignancy, secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is known as hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy. Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy has a distinct constellation of clinical findings that includes intractable pain often refractory to treatments other than resolution of the underlying disease process. The authors herein report a case of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy masquerading as recurrent lower extremity cellulitis with chronic hand and foot pain in the setting of pulmonary malignancy that responded dramatically to intravenous pamidronate disodium (a bisphosphonate). Given the rarity of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy associated with lung cancer and the difficulty with pain management in such circumstances, the authors present the following case in which pain was mitigated by treatment with bisphosphonate therapy.

Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is the classical neoplastic disease in rheumatology characterized by a combination of digital clubbing, joint and bone pain, and proliferative periostitis. This combination of symptoms should initiate an intensive search for an underlying malignant disease usually of thoracic organs. Here we report the case of a patient with HOA and neuroendocrine carcinoma of the esophagus. Other non-malignant disorders of the lungs, heart and other organs should be considered in the differential diagnosis. In addition, rare cases of a primary hereditary form of HOA exist and the genetic background has recently been discovered. Thus, new insights into the pathophysiology have improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for this disorder.

Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a paraneoplastic syndrome most often found in non-small cell lung cancer. Diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of clubbing on physical examination and periostitis on bone scintigram, and the syndrome generally resolves with treatment of the underlying malignancy. This article presents a case study and describes symptom management options, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, octreotide, and bisphosphonates.

Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a disabling condition that may occur secondarily to primary lung cancer. It is characterized by digital clubbing, arthralgia/arthritis, and periostosis of the tubular bones. The pain associated with HOA can be disabling and often refractory to conventional analgesics. We performed a comprehensive review of the literature using the PubMed database on treatment modalities available for HOA. We found 52 relevant articles-40 case reports, six case series, two review papers, and four combined case series and review papers. There were no randomized controlled trials reported. We then classified treatments used for HOA into two categories: (1) treatment of primary cause (i.e., resection of tumor, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, treatment of infection, etc.) and (2) symptomatic treatments (i.e., bisphosphonates, octreotide, NSAIDs, vagotomy, etc.). Subsequently, we summarized the main findings for each treatment. Although the clinical diagnosis of HOA has existed for over 100 years, the pathogenesis mechanism has not yet been elucidated, and treatment options for this condition remain experimental. Primary treatment is the most widely reported modality to be efficacious. In cases which primary therapy is not possible, several symptomatic treatment modalities are suggested, with various degree of success. Further research is needed to clarify the pathophysiological mechanism of HOA as to appropriately direct therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the clinical spectrum of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA). METHODS We report 2 cases of HOA and performed a computer-assisted search of Medline/PubMed for the medical literature from 1960 to June 2008 using the keywords HOA, periostitis, and clubbing. These were also combined with the text words cancer, rheumatic disease, etiology, pathogenesis, hypothesis, transplant, and treatment. Only the English language literature, with pertinent information, was included. RESULTS Our 2 cases include 1 HOA case with clubbing, in a patient with a right to left shunt from cryptogenic cirrhosis and interstitial lung disease, and 1 HOA case without apparent clubbing, in a patient with chronic lung transplant rejection secondary to tobacco smoking and related emphysema. Review of the literature has shown that HOA is associated with a wide variety of disorders, approximately 80% are found with primary or metastatic pulmonary malignancies. Various rheumatic diseases, such as systemic vasculitis, can also be associated with HOA. With respect to the pathogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and platelets may play crucial roles. Therapeutically, bisphosphonates, such as pamidronade or octreotide, may be tried to relieve symptoms in refractory cases. CONCLUSIONS HOA, especially periostitis without clubbing, may go unrecognized. Involvement of vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor, and platelets in the pathogenesis of HOA has been postulated and supported by recent data. HOA may present as a partial syndrome without clubbing and about 20% of cases have HOA without detectable malignancy. One of our cases represents the first report of the association of HOA with lung transplantation.

Abstract
Thyroid acropachy is an extreme manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease. It presents with digital clubbing, swelling of digits and toes, and periosteal reaction of extremity bones. It is almost always associated with ophthalmopathy and thyroid dermopathy. During a 26-yr period at our institution, of 178 patients with thyroid dermopathy, 40 had acropachy. Clubbing associated with thyroid dermopathy (pretibial myxedema) was seen in 35 patients. Clubbing usually was not a patient complaint and was noted only by clinical observers. Four of eight patients with hand and extremity radiographs had periosteal reaction. Seven had associated extremity and joint pain; this pain was absent at long-term follow-up. Half of the patients required systemic corticosteroid therapy, 53% required transantral or transfrontal orbital decompression for severe ophthalmopathy, and 18% had the elephantiasic form of dermopathy. Cigarette-smoking rates were 81% for women and 75% for men (mean, 28 pack-years). All 13 patients who had thyroid-stimulating Ig measurement had high titers. Long-term follow-up (median, 12.5 yr) revealed that acropachy was not a complaint in follow-up visits or questionnaires. The data suggest that thyroid acropachy is an indicator of severity of ophthalmopathy and dermopathy. It is a source of clinical concern only if dermopathy is persistent and severe.
