Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare congenital hamartoma presenting as a localized or generalized gigantism of a limb or digit manifesting from infancy to late adulthood. It is a progressive enlargement of the soft tissue components, especially fibrofatty tissue. The patient presents to us because of cosmetic reasons or mechanical issues secondary to degenerative joint disease, or features of neurovascular compression due to large osteophytes. Here, we present a case of this anomaly of the left second toe with complaints of difficulty in walking and wearing shoes, for which toe reduction surgery with partial amputation was done.Entities:
