In Baillière's Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary (BLOVE, 1988, p. 466), the terms "hypertrophic osteoarthropathy" and "h. pulmonary osteoarthropathy" are included with crossreferences to "hypertrophic osteopathy" without any explanation as to the relationship between the terms. The terms are undoubtedly closely related and possibly, though not necessarily, synonymous.
