ABSTRACT
Macrodystrophia Lipomatosa (MDL) is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by excessive growth of mesenchymal tissue. Etiology of this disorder is obscure. It results in disproportionate increase in size of affected limbs or digits manifesting as localized gigantism. Diagnosis of MDL depends on clinical features and imaging studies. We present a case of MDL causing gigantism in the right upper and right lower limb.
Keywords: Macrodystrophia Lipomatosa MDL, macrodactyly, congenital localised gigantism.
