A 70-year-old smoker was referred for X-rays of both painful knees. Both femora showed signs of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Chest radiography demonstrated a tumour in the upper lobe of the right lung. The patient was diagnosed with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (Marie-Bamberger syndrome).
