Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy (HPOA) is a well‐documented complication of pulmonary malignancy and cystic fibrosis (CF).

We describe a case of an adult patient with bronchiectasis and HPOA, whose joint symptoms flared during pulmonary exacerbations and improved with treatment of each exacerbation.
