Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare congenital nonhereditary developmental anomaly. It is characterized by hamartomatous proliferation of the soft tissue leading to disproportionate enlargement of the limbs and digits. Since it leads to diagnostic dilemma, it has to be differentiated from various other conditions as they differ in course, prognosis, complications, and treatment. Herein, we present two cases with localized gigantism and discuss the various differential diagnoses and need for clinico-patho-radilogical correlation for diagnosis of this rare entity.
巨脂性营养障碍是一种罕见的先天性非遗传性发育异常。其特征是软组织错构瘤样增生,导致肢体和手指不成比例地增大。由于它会导致诊断困境,因此必须与其他各种病症进行鉴别,因为它们在病程、预后、并发症和治疗方面存在差异。在此,我们报告两例局限性巨人症病例,并讨论各种鉴别诊断以及对这种罕见疾病进行临床-病理-放射学关联诊断的必要性。
