Abstract

Macrodactyly, a disproportionate enlargement of one or more fingers or toes, is generally regarded as a rare congenital malformation. The skin, finger nail, subcutaneous fat tissue, vessels, nerves, tendons and phalanges are all enlarged. and the basic lesion appears to be the accumulation of fibrofatty tissue. The authors have recently experienced a case of pedal macrodactyly occured in the 4th and 5th toes of right foot, which was treated with ablation of the involved toes at the level of 4th and 5th metatarsal shaft. Postoperative course was uneventful. This paper is to present a case of pedal macrodactyly in 18 years old boy, experienced recently at our department and review the references relevant to macrodactyly.
