Abstract
We describe a case of aggressive undifferentiated thyroid cancer associated with rapidly evolving hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) that developed at the time of pulmonary dissemination of the thyroid neoplasm. The syndrome appeared to be paraneoplastic, possibly due to a substance normally cleared by the lungs.
