Abstract
Digital clubbing is a common sign in a variety of lung diseases. Altho ugh its pathogenesis remains unclear, it is known that the degree of c lubbing might vary and even disappear, particularly when the underlyin g disease is a malignant neoplasm that has been removed. By contrast, because of the short expectancy of life in patients with pulmonary fib rosis, it is unusual to observe regression of clubbing. In this work, we report a case of reversible clubbing after lung transplantation.
