ABSTRACT
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy or pachydermoperiostosis is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by digital clubbing, pachydermia and periostosis. Its precise incidence and prevalence is still unknown due to the lack of controlled data. It occurs without any underlying causes and usually has a chronic course. Life expectancy may be of normal standards, but many patients develop multiple functional and cosmetic complications. So, it is important to diagnose this disease at an early stage and to treat the symptomat for the quality of life. We report a case of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in a 68-year-old male with clinical features such as digital clubbing and pachydermia, radiographic findings of acroosteolysis and periosteal new bone formation.
