Abstract:
Clubbing is a sign that is usually found in association chronic respiratory diseases or cyanotic cardiac conditions. Few reports have demonstrated an association with gastrointestinal malignancies. We report a rare case of clubbing associated with advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma. The association is rare but it can trigger a revisit to some pathogenesis concepts such the neutrally mediated hypothesis and possible further understanding better approach to targeted therapy for this rare subtype of malignancy.
