Abstract
"Pacifier polydactyly" is defined in babies with a large edematous postaxial duplication attached by soft-tissue stalks that contain neurovascular elements. These serve in utero as pacifiers. Imminent ischemic necrosis was induced in all three by local trauma. Simple excision is the treatment of choice.Entities:
