Digital clubbing is a common sign in a variety of lung diseases. Although its pathogenesis remains unclear, it is known that the degree of clubbing might vary and even disappear, particularly when the underlying disease is a malignant neoplasm that has been removed. By contrast, because of the short expectancy of life in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, it is unusual to observe regression of clubbing. In this work, we report a case of reversible clubbing after lung transplantation.
杵状指是多种肺部疾病的常见体征。尽管其发病机制尚不清楚，但已知杵状指的程度可能会有所不同，甚至消失，尤其是当潜在疾病为已切除的恶性肿瘤时。相比之下，由于肺纤维化患者的预期寿命较短，观察到杵状指消退的情况并不常见。在本研究中，我们报告了1例肺移植后杵状指可逆的病例。
