[Clinical aspects, morphology and therapy of an unusual case of bilateral macrodactyly].
Macrodactyly, originally described by von Klein in 1824, is one of the rarest congenital anomalies of the hand. It displays a wide variety of manifestations, and its association with other congenital defects and syndromes has been discussed by many authors. A rare case involving an adult with bilateral, hyperostotic macrodactyly of the hands is presented. The hands were not treated in childhood. Clinical findings, pathology, and treatment are discussed.
