A Case of Hypertrophic Pulmonary Osteoarthropathy in Both Upper and Lower Extremities: A Rare Involvement.
Molecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy 2018 June 8
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) is a paraneoplastic manifestation of gastric and, more frequently, lung carcinomas. It is characterized by extremity pain, clubbing, arthritis and periostitis of the long bones. Periostitis is the hallmark of HPOA and can be revealed with bone scintigraphy. Whole-body bone scintigraphy (WBBS) is very sensitive during the active lesion period and WBBS findings usually precede that of plain radiography. WBBS can also show improvement in the first 6 months following treatment, thus making it an important technique in the management and follow-up of these patients. While HPOA findings are usually seen in the lower extremities, involvement of both upper and lower extremities is a rare condition. In this case report, it is aimed to present findings of a 67-year-old male patient with lung cancer and complaint of extremity pain. We report on this patient to draw attention to HPOA of both upper and lower extremities.
