It is important in that it is often an early manifestation of an occult disease, frequently a malignancy, still in a curable stage. Erroneous diagnoses are common and include acromegaly, myxedema, Paget's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis; yet the distinction is usually clear once the diagnosis is considered. The disease was first described in 1890 by Marie, in a case which was quite typically originally erroneously diagnosed as acromegaly. Bamberger in 1891 also described the syndrome. The eponym, Marie-Bamberger syndrome, is often used.The following patient's...References1. HAMMERSTEN JF: The features and significance of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. Arch. Intern. Med.
