We describe two patients with finger clubbing, watch crystal nails, bones thickenings,arthritis and different grades of skin affection, without other clinical manifestations. Both did not know of havingrelatives with the same alterations. Radiological studies of the affected areas showed periostosis. Because ofnormal laboratory results and chest radiography plus the absence of other underlying causes, diagnosis of primaryhypertrophic osteoarthropathy was made.
