Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare congenital nonhereditary developmental anomaly. It is characterized by hamartomatous proliferation of the soft tissue leading to disproportionate enlargement of the limbs and digits. Since it leads to diagnostic dilemma, it has to be differentiated from various other conditions as they differ in course, prognosis,complications, and treatment. Herein, we present two cases with localized gigantism and discuss the various differential diagnoses and need for clinico-patho-radilogical correlation for diagnosis of this rare entity.
