[Bilateral symmetrical macrodactyly of the toes (author's transl)].
The authors report a case of bilateral symmetrical macrodactyly affecting the toes in a 17 year old patient. The deformity was treated by bilateral transmetatarsal amputation. After a review of the literature, the authors recall that macrodactyly is more frequently seen in the hand than in the foot. No etiological factor such as neurofibromatosis or a genetic or teratogenic agent was found.
