LOCAL GIGANTISM



Download PDF

Abstract

1. A case of local gigantism is described, with enlargement of the left thumb, the left ring finger, the right little finger, and the right second and third toes.

2. No other record can be found in the literature of an association of local gigantism of fingers of both hands with a similar condition of the toes of one foot, though there is no theoretical reason why macrodactyly should not affect the digits in any combination.

3. Theories regarding the etiology are discussed.
