Macrodystrophia lipomatosa characterized by enlargement of one or more fingers or toes with predominantly fibroadipose tissue can be part of an overgrowth syndrome such as Proteus syndrome (Biesecker , 2006 ) or CLOVES syndrome (Sapp et al ., 2007 ; Alomari , 2009 ) or found as an isolated abnormality in an otherwise normal patient . It maybe present at birth or occur in early infancy with a progressive course . Here , we report a case of macrodystrophia lipomatosa (MDL ) diagnosed in the neonatal period in a baby who had no other apparent problems on follow-up .
