Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy is an uncommon, poorly understood syndrome usually seen with bronchogenic carcinomas, and rarely with tumors metastatic to the lungs or mediastinum. In a review of the literature, we have found only 140 cases associated with nonbronchogenic intrathoracic tumors. We have reported a case associated with metastatic breast carcinoma in which surgical resection led to rapid disappearance of the syndrome and prolonged palliation for the patient.
