Abstract
Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a congenital form of localized gigantism characterized
by an overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements with a disproportionate increase of adipose
tissue. We describe a patient with macrodystrophia lipomatosa affecting the foot who
exhibited characteristic MR findings that distinguish the lesion from other conditions
associated with localized gigantism.
