Macrodactyly is a descriptive term for isolated enlargement of some or all elements of a digit, whether of the hand or foot . Often it is equated with its most common cause, macrodystrophia lipomatosa . Rarely it can be seen as a form of Proteus syndrome
A number of conditions may manifest with asymmetric limb hypertrophy, including:
- neural fibrolipoma (some term any macrodactyly with a neural fibrolipoma as macrodystrophia lipomatosa)
- angiomatosis
- neurofibromatosis type 1
