AN INTERESTING CASE OF GRADE FOUR CLUBBING
Abstract
Abstract : Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy is a syndrome characterised by abnormal proliferation of the skin and osseous tissue at the distal parts of extremities. Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy is either primary or most often secondary due to neoplastic or infectious cause. Here we report an interesting case of Primary Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy with hypertrophic gastritis and hypoproliferative anemia.
