Abstract
Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a condition associated with lung cancer and many other diseases. Pain associated with HOA can be disabling, unremitting, and refractory to conventional analgesic medications. We present a challenging case of HOA in a patient with nonsmall cell lung cancer and review specific therapies for management of HOA-related pain.Entities:
