Macrodactyly.

Macrodactyly is a rare congenital limb difference manifesting as an overgrowth of one or more fingers or toes. The pathological process affects all tissues of the ray in the hand or foot. The enlargement can significantly alter the limb's appearance and impair its function. The role of a pediatrician is to distinguish isolated macrodactyly from syndromic conditions (including PIK3CA-Related Overgrowth Spectrum) or mimicking conditions to enable early interdisciplinary consultation and treatment planning. The psychological stigma associated with this often disfiguring condition necessitates support for patients and their family. We present a practical guide for physicians who might be the first to raise suspicion of macrodactyly and initiate further diagnostics to achieve adequate treatment and support for children and caregivers.
