Pachydermoperiostosis- A rare radiologic case

Dr Akanksha Jain, Dr Pratik Tak

Abstract :

 Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) or primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare syndrome characterized by digital clubbing, pachydermia and periostosis. Though on the basis of clinical and radiological features, a  diagnosis of Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) can be made, it is often missed due to variable presentations. It should be distinguished from the secondary form of HOA, which is much more frequent and mostly associated with severe pulmonary disease, onchogenic carcinoma, lung emyema, onchiectasis, congenital heart disease, thyroid and GI malignancy.
