Three cases of thumb polydactyly in which one of the components demonstrated symphalangism are reported. This is a very rare anomaly and only one similar case could be found in the literature. The rarity of this anomaly was explained by the occurrence of two different abnormal molecular events along two different limb growth axes. Finally, the anomaly does not fit into the classification systems described for thumb polydactyly.
报告了三例拇指多指畸形病例,其中一个多指表现为关节融合。这是一种非常罕见的畸形,文献中仅能找到一例类似病例。这种畸形的罕见性可通过沿两条不同肢体生长轴发生的两种不同异常分子事件来解释。最后,这种畸形不符合已描述的拇指多指畸形分类系统。
