Learn About Macrodactyly of the Hand

What is the definition of Macrodactyly of the Hand?
Macrodactyly of the hand is a rare condition in which a person's fingers are abnormally large due to the overgrowth of the underlying bone and soft tissue. Although babies are born with the condition, macrodactyly is usually not inherited. Most of the time, only one hand is affected, but usually more than one finger is involved. Macrodactyly may also coexist with syndactyly (two fingers are fused together) or clinodactyly (a finger, usually the pinky, is curved toward another finger).
What are the alternative names for Macrodactyly of the Hand?
  • Macrodactyly of fingers
  • Macrodactyly of hand
  • Megalodactylism of the hand
  • Megalodactyly of the hand
