Abstract
Dissection of a chimpanzee has revealed the association of an intrathoracic disease (probably coccidioidomycosis) with periosteal lesions that are restricted almost entirely to the appendicular skeleton and are distributed with bilateral symmetry. These pathological conditions are compatible with a diagnosis of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy.
