Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) in association with primary bowel disease is rare, but is usually seen in patients with chronic diarrheal states, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We record the first case of HOA associated with primary intestinal lymphoma in a patient who presented with chronic diarrhea.
