Hepatic hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare condition associated with severe liver diseases, especially those causing chronic cholestasis. It is defined by arthritis, digital clubbing and periosteal reaction. We report a patient with hepatic disease and persistent cholestasis who developed hepatic hypertrophic ostearthropathy and disabling arthritis. His symptoms and radiological findings resolved after successful liver transplantation.
