Schizophrenia is associated to somatic disorders especially cardio‐vascular and auto‐immune. Through this case report, we describe an association with hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HPO). For this patient, it was a paraneoplastic syndrome secondary to lung cancer. This syndrome is rare but important to recognize since it could hide a life‐threatening condition.
