Although symptoms improve after treatment, objective functional recovery has not previously been reported. We present a 52\u2010year\u2010old male heavy smoker with right upper lobe adenocarcinoma and hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy causing profound grip strength impairment (5\/2 right\/left kilogram\u2010force (kgf)). Genetic testing identified the <jats:italic>KRAS<\/jats:italic> G12C mutation. The patient underwent right upper lobectomy after which his arthralgia resolved immediately and grip strength recovered progressively (16\/12\u2009kgf, postoperative day 3; 40.9\/32.9\u2009kgf, 3\u2009months), reaching normal adult levels. Periosteal changes initially persisted but resolved by 1\u2009year. This case provides the first objective documentation of functional recovery in a patient with hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy, suggesting that impaired grip strength may be caused by joint inflammation and edema affecting bone\u2010tendon attachments, rather than by muscle weakness alone. The <jats:italic>KRAS<\/jats:italic> G12C mutation may contribute to the development of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy through upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor via the Raf pathway. This case provides valuable insights into the pathophysiology of hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy and confirms that functional impairment is reversible with appropriate treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1759-7714.70170","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]],"date-time":"2025-10-02T14:40:51Z","timestamp":1759416051000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Recovery of Grip Strength Over Time After Complete Resection of <i>KRAS<\/i>\u2010Positive Lung Cancer With Hypertrophic Pulmonary Osteoarthropathy: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2067-223X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Takafumi","family":"Iguchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery NHO Kinki Chuo Chest Medical Center  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kensuke","family":"Kojima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery NHO Kinki Chuo Chest Medical Center  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daiki","family":"Hayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery NHO Kinki Chuo Chest Medical Center  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshiteru","family":"Tokunaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery NHO Kinki Chuo Chest Medical Center  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyungeun","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Thoracic Surgery NHO Kinki Chuo Chest Medical Center  Osaka Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/JTO.0b013e3181dc1f3c"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3892\/ol.2014.2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.3481"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamda.2019.12.012"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","first-page":"47","article-title":"Bone Scintigraphy for the Detection and Follow\u2010Up of Hypertrophic Osteoarthropathy","volume":"51","author":"Kroon H.
