摘要
Background: Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma can be associated with severe, disabling pain which is not always responsive to conventional treatment. Aim: To report on the use of pamidronate to control resistant pain in HPOA in three cases. Methods: A retrospective review of reported pain, chest X-ray and radionuclide bone scans was made. Results: Pain relief was achieved in all three cases together with reduced radiolabel uptake in two cases. Conclusions: Pamidronate appears to be an effective therapy for HPOA. Further investigation is warranted.
