Polymelia, or accessory limb, is a rare congenital abnormality with unknown etiology. Here we report the case of an infant with an accessory limb, review the diagnostic and therapeutic consideration of such cases, and highlight the potential challenges in management of an accessory limb.
We report the case of a 2-month-old male with an accessory limb arising from the left buttock. The limb was sensate and mobile joints. Our diagnostic workup did not reveal associated spinal dysraphism, but a left dislocated hip was found. The limb was surgically removed, and the hip dislocation was eventually treated with open reduction, with excellent results.
This study reports a rare case of accessory limb and reviews the important considerations in the management of this condition.

我们报告一例2个月大男性患儿，其副肢起自左臀部。该肢体有感觉且关节可活动。我们的诊断检查未发现相关的脊柱裂，但发现左侧髋关节脱位。该肢体经手术切除，髋关节脱位最终通过切开复位治疗，效果良好。
本研究报告了一例罕见的副肢病例，并回顾了该病症管理中的重要考量因素。
