case 1 - a man with clubbing

So, I'll start sharing interesting cases I encountered in my attachment in medical department. Sorry for no photos but I will try to be as descriptive as possible.

Patient X, malay men 60 years old, admitted with progressive right sided weakness. He was not toxic, no sign of liver failure. He has gross clubbing of the fingers. Patient has a history of smoking.

So I'll ask the same question the specialist asked me.




what do you suspect the patient have? (keep in mind the clubbing)
what are the causes of clubbing?


sigh, I pity the ones who read my blog
