Early Imaging Findings of Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy Mimicking Bone Metastasis from Extrathoracic Malignancy
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome characterized by digital clubbing, periosteal bone formation, and synovial effusions. Secondary HOA is associated with intrathoracic malignancy in most cases; however, in rare cases, HOA can be caused by extrathoracic conditions. We report early u...

| Sumario: | Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome characterized by digital clubbing, periosteal
bone formation, and synovial effusions. Secondary HOA is associated with intrathoracic malignancy
in most cases; however, in rare cases, HOA can be caused by extrathoracic conditions.
We report early ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and bone
scintigraphy findings of HOA in a patient with breast cancer. Its ambiguous clinical and imaging
findings that mimicked malignant conditions are particularly interesting and informative. |
