Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome characterized by abnormal proliferation of the skin and bony structures at the distal extremities resulting in digital clubbing, periosteal bony reaction, and joint effusion. It can be primary (idiopathic) without any clear identifiable etiology as well as secondary to variety of systemic diseases most notably lung pathology. Case Presentation. We describe a rare case of primary idiopathic osteoarthropathy in a male patient who presented with severe… Show more
“…When germline SLCO2A1 mutations are detected, myelofibrosis, a life‐threatening complication, should be suspected and individual followed up periodically.

Key Clinical Message
Complete Primary Pachydermoperiostosis is a rare syndrome that presents with skin and skeletal manifestations. Though diagnosis can be made on the basis of the classic clinical and radiological features, it is often missed due to variable presentations. Therefore, it is important to know about this syndrome to reach correct diagnosis.
