  • Title: Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and breast cancer.
    Author: Booth BW, Van Nostrand D, Graeber GM.
    Journal: South Med J; 1987 Mar; 80(3):383-6. PubMed ID: 3824029.
    Abstract:
    Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy is an uncommon, poorly understood syndrome usually seen with bronchogenic carcinomas, and rarely with tumors metastatic to the lungs or mediastinum. In a review of the literature, we have found only 140 cases associated with nonbronchogenic intrathoracic tumors. We have reported a case associated with metastatic breast carcinoma in which surgical resection led to rapid disappearance of the syndrome and prolonged palliation for the patient.
