Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a distinct clinical entity often misdiag nosed as other forms of macrodactyly. The most specific finding is an overabundance of fibrofatty tissue on the plantar aspect of the foot. Three cases, with the diagnoses made from tissue specimens, are presen ted in this article. The clinical, pathologic, and roentgenographic fi ndings are discussed and a review of the literature is provided.
