An infant with three legs--a case report and review of the literature.
A third leg with almost all its components and not associated with other congenital malformation is exceedingly rare. It has never been reported in Ethiopia and a review of the medical literature confirms that this is a very rare type of congenital malformation. A case is reported of an Ethiopian infant and the literature is reviewed.
