Frostberg's Sign

Greetings everyone! Today I would like to talk about such a rare phenomenon as the Frostberg phenomenon. This syndrome is named after the Swedish doctor Hans J. I. Frostberg, who was famous for his research in the field of oncology and radiology.

The first mention of this phenomenon dates back to 1877, when at a congress of doctors in Geneva, Dr. Willy Blum drew attention to the unusual manifestations of “shock” in one of the patients with cancer of the lymph glands. This phenomenon has been called the "Frostberg phenomenon", although this hypothesis

Frostberg signs or frostrypond or, as I say them, frozen fingers and will be the key waste arising from palpation.

The symptoms accompanying them are far from clear and not very consistent. Sometimes it’s a bean ulcer or a bean scar in the body or a stiff patella, but there are no other signs and never will be!

Frosterberg's sign is usually accompanied by symptomatic features such as Guillain's sign (lung and pleural involvement) and Phlycten syndrome (vesicular rash), which raise the possibility of the presence of progressive chondritis, although they are almost always present, but are generally separated from day to day and have no any suggestive characteristics.
