A medical condition characterized by clubbing or swelling of the arm or fingers, or abnormal curvature of the arm bones.
From Latin 'brachium' (arm) + Greek 'kyllosis' (lameness or deformity, from 'kyllos' meaning crooked). This rare medical term combines anatomical and pathological terminology.
Brachiocyllosis can result from chronic lung disease, heart conditions, or infections—the clubbing happens because reduced oxygen causes fingers and arms to swell and bones to curve.
