Pediatr Radiol. 2000 Aug;30(8):570-2. doi: 10.1007/s002470000250.

Abstract

We report a 13-year-old boy with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, skull metastases and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Although the metastases and the primary tumour responded well to chemotherapy, hypertrophic osteoarthropathy persisted during follow-up.
