Abstract
Clubbing of the nails is a bulbous uniform thickening of the soft tissues of the terminal phalanx of a digit with subsequent loss of the normal angle between the nail and nailbed. It may be primary (hereditary or idiopathic) or secondary to disorders of the multiple organ systems. A male, aged 45 years, detected to be a case of idiopathic digital clubbing, noticed by the individual during early adolescence, is presented herewith.
