Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a medical condition combining clubbing and periostitis of the small hand joints, especially the distal interphalangeal joints and the metacarpophalangeal joints. Distal expansion of the long bones as well as painful, swollen joints and synovial villous proliferation are often seen. The condition may occur alone (primary), or it may be secondary to diseases like lung cancer. Among patients with lung cancer, it is most associated with adenocarcinoma and least associated with small cell lung cancer. These patients often get clubbing and increased bone deposition on long bones. Their presenting symptoms are sometimes only clubbing and painful ankles. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is one of many distant effect disorders due to cancer, with lung cancer being the most common cause but also occurring with ovarian or adrenal malignancies. b) bronchogenic Ca. and the only answer thats relates to lung cancer and all other answers do not.

Drugs like inflixamab and adalimumab are monoclonal anti-TNF-alpha antibody drugs that can be used to treat inflammatory bowel disease.

Important note - before administering, need to test for latent TB as reactivation can occur (TNF-alpha important in granuloma formation and stabilization)
