Summary:Macrodystrophia lipomatosa characterized by enlargement of one or more fingers or toes with predominantly fibroadipose tissue can be part of an overgrowth syndrome such as Proteus syndrome (Biesecker, 2006) or CLOVES syndrome (Sapp et al., 2007; Alomari, 2009) or found as an isolated abnormality in an otherwise normal patient. It maybe present at birth or occur in early infancy with a progressive course. Here, we report a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL) diagnosed in the neonatal period in a baby who had no other apparent problems on follow-up.
