Acropachy, also called clubbed fingers, presents as increased nail convexity over a thickened distal phalanx. Its origin is multifactorial, with the most frequent cause being neoplasms, although it can also be idiopathic. They can be found in isolation, or as part of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy. The importance of its diagnosis lies in the high frequency of underlying malignant pathology, so it must be rapid and comprehensive. Two cases are presented of patients with acropachy associated with underlying neoplasia.

Palabras clave : Acropachy; Digital hippocratism; Neoplasia; Haypertrophic osteoarthropathy.
