Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy complicating primary bone marrow iymphoma—association with invasive phycomycosis and aspergillus infections. M. M. McNeil, R. E. Sage and B. M. Dale, Aust. N.Z. J. Med ., 1981, 11, pp. 71–75. The development of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy in patients with ieukaemia or lymphoma presents important diagnostic and therapeutic implications. Patients with these disorders are also predisposed to the development of invasive phycomycosis and aspergillus infections. We report a case of primary bone marrow lymphoma complicated by hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. At postmortem examination there was evidence of disseminated phycomycosis and aspergillus infections. We believe this relationship has not previously been reported
