Fifteen cases of macrodactyly in blacks are reported. In three cases the fingers were affected and in 12 cases the toes were affected. Macrodactyly, while uncommon in whites, appears to be even less common in blacks. When it does occur in blacks, it involves the toes rather than the fingers, whereas in Caucasians, the fingers are predominantly affected. Most cases of metatarsal hypertrophy that have been reported in the literature so far have occurred in non-Caucasians.
报告了15例黑人巨指（趾）症病例。其中3例手指受累，12例脚趾受累。巨指（趾）症在白人中不常见，在黑人中似乎更为罕见。当它在黑人中出现时，受累的是脚趾而非手指，而在白种人中，主要受累的是手指。迄今为止文献中报道的大多数跖骨肥大病例都发生在非白种人中。
