The authors report a case of primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in a 29-year-old male with swollen joints. Physical examination revealed also digital clubbing and convexity of the nails. All other causes of secondary forms of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy were excluded. The main radiological abnormalities found were bone cortical hypertrophy and periosteal proliferation. Abnormalities of the joint spaces were not observed.
