Limb or digital overgrowth occurs in a number of rare conditions. Hypertrophy is present at birth in cases of macrodactyly simplex congenita, macromelia, hemihypertrophy, and the Klippel- Trenaunay-Weber syndrome. Late-onset overgrowth is a feature of macrodystrophia lipomatosa and neurofibromatosis. We have reviewed more than 40 patients with overgrowth disorders in order to clarify problems of differentiation and classification, and in this article we have depicted and discussed typical cases. The course, prognosis and complications differ in these autonomous conditions; for this reason accurate diagnosis is vital.
肢体或指（趾）过度生长见于多种罕见病症。单纯性先天性巨指（趾）症、巨肢症、半侧肥大以及克-特-韦综合征患者出生时即存在肥大。迟发性过度生长是脂肪过多性巨发育不良和神经纤维瘤病的特征。我们回顾了40余例过度生长障碍患者，以阐明鉴别和分类问题，本文描述并讨论了典型病例。这些独立病症的病程、预后及并发症各不相同；因此准确诊断至关重要。
