Polymelia, or congenital duplication of a limb, is an extremely rare entity in humans, with few cases reported in the literature.
We present the case of a six-month-old Hispanic boy born with a lower limb bud on the left posterior thigh.
The infant had a favorable outcome and evolution after surgical treatment of his supernumerary limb, with no after-effects or impairment whatsoever.
多肢畸形,即肢体先天性重复,在人类中极为罕见,文献报道的病例很少。
我们报告一例六个月大的西班牙裔男孩,其左大腿后侧出生时带有一个下肢芽。
该婴儿在对其多余肢体进行手术治疗后预后良好,无任何后遗症或功能障碍。
