Macrodystrophia lipomatosa: CT and MR findings.

Abstract

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a congenital macrodactyly characterized by proliferation of all mesenchymal components, particularly fibroadipose tissue. We report imaging features of two such patients. MR imaging and CT scanning demonstrated proliferation of fatty tissue in the territory of the median nerve in the hands and forearms, characteristic of macrodystrophia lipomatosa.
