Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy in four patients with interstitial pulmonary disease

B Galko, RF Grossman, A Day, J Tenenbaum, J Kirsh and AS Rebuck

The association between digital clubbing and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has been well established; however, the simultaneous occurrence of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and interstitial fibrosis, in the absence of neoplastic disease, has only been described in two case reports and was not mentioned in any of 336 patients described in several recent reviews. Among 70 patients referred for investigation of pulmonary infiltrates, four were found to have hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy associated with interstitial pulmonary disease, in the absence of malignant disease. We conclude that the use of bone scans and roentgenographic examination of the extremities may draw attention to an association between hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
