| description | Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare, congenital, non-hereditary anomaly of hand or foot which may gradually involve whole of the limb. It is characterized by excessive proliferation of fibroadipose tissue. We report a case of an eighteen-month-old girl with gradual enlargement of right leg and foot. She was diagnosed as a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa on radiograph and ultrasound of the affected part. Now the patient has been advised for debulking surgery by the plastic surgeon. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can improve the functional disability to a greater extent and provide the child a near normal life. |
