Abstract:
Digital clubbing with or without hypertrophic osteoarthropathy may occur in a variety of neoplastic diseases. We present the first description of digital clubbing in a patient with progressive mantle cell lymphoma, in the absence of any other apparent etiology. We suggest that clubbing might be a paraneoplastic manifestation in mantle cell lymphoma. The literature on digital clubbing in hematological neoplasms is reviewed.
