Prenatal Sonographic Diagnosis and Evaluation of Isolated Macrodactyly
نویسندگان
چکیده
Macrodactyly, defined as enlargement of one or several digits of the hands or feet, is a rare malformation. It may be due tumorous enlargement of a single tissue element, as in hemangioma, lymphangioma or enchondroma or it may be caused by overgrowth of all structures of the digit, including phalanges, subcutaneous tissue, nerves, vessels and skin as in ‘true macrodactyly’(Barsky, 1967). Furthermore, it may either be isolated or associated with other anomalies such as hemihypertrophy, vascular malformations, lipomas, cutaneous lesions or visceral anomalies as a feature of a syndrome.
