- Abstract
Introduction: Digital clubbing (hypertrophic osteoarthropathy) as the initial presentation of lymphoma is rarely reported, particularly in children. In this study, we report a patient with intrathoracic Hodgkin Disease (HD) and digital clubbing as the first presentation, and we will review the literature regarding the same condition. Case Presentation: A 10-year-old boy presented with a 2-month history of cough, mild dyspnea, and night sweats, with prominent digital clubbing. A chest x-ray and a computed tomography scan of the chest showed multiple mediastinal masses. A mediastinal lymph node biopsy was done. Pathologic examination was indicative of nodular sclerosis HD. Conclusions: In patients with digital clubbing, intrathoracic malignancies should be considered a differential diagnosis and must be ruled out by precise examination and paraclinical help.
