This symptomatic state was clearly described in the initial reports of this interesting disease process. The patient presented by Bamberger in 18891and, with additions, in 1891,2and the patients described by Marie in 1890,3evidenced arthritis and deforming skeletal changes. The term applied by Marie to this lesion, "osteo-arthropathie hypertrophiante pneumique," in itself indicates the emphasis placed on the bone and joint manifestations with enlargement of the extremities. The early reports by the English physicians Thorburn,4Godlee5...Bibliography1. von Bamberger E: Sitzungsberichte der Gesellschaft der Aerzte in Wien, Wien. klin. Wchnschr. 2: 226, 1889.
