Abstract
A 15-day-old boy presented with an isolated enlargement of his second left toe. Physical examination showed no oedema, no bruit, no marks of amniotic constriction bands, or changes in the skin or the toenail. Afterwards, the toe exhibited a disproportionate growth with a progressive lateral deviation and dorsal flexion. Radiography showed an increase in size that involved the bone and the soft tissues.
