Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica.
A new case of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is reported. It is the third case reported in Spain and presents involvement of almost all the epiphyses of the left side of the body. The involvement of the left hip following surgery is hard to explain. The patient also presents lengthening of the left lower limb. Following a review of the world literature, it seems that this case demonstrates the greatest epiphyseal involvement to date.
