Secondary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1325516156

Sporadic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy has been described in association with a large number of malignancies of which bronchial carcinoma is the commonest and with a wide range of non-malignant disorders including congenital cyanotic heart disease, chronic pulmonary disease, especially cystic fibrosis and chronic liver diseases. It is much commoner than primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
