Abstract
Macrodystrophialipomatosa is a rare cause of congenital macrodactyly, characterized by progressive proliferation of all mesenchymal elements, with a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissue. This developmental anomaly is reportedly more common in the foot than in the hand, with a predilection for the plantar and median nerve distribution. We present a case of MDL of the foot. Preoperative diagnosis was however made on the basis of radiography and MRI and was later confirmed on surgery
