MACRODYSTROPHIA-GIANT THUMB
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 32
Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare cause of congenital macrodactyly, characterized by progressive proliferation of all mesenchymal elements, with a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissue. This developmental anomaly is reportedly more common in the foot than in the hand, with a predilection for the plantar and median nerve distribution. We present a case of MDL of the hand, one of which had an unusual nerve territory distribution, making clinical diagnosis difficult. Diagnosis was however made on the basis of radiography and colour Doppler was negative.
