    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Dermatology

    Background:

    • Congenital anomalies present unique diagnostic and management challenges.
    • Macrodactyly and epidermal nevus are individually rare sporadic conditions.
    • Understanding the etiology of co-occurring anomalies is crucial for genetic counseling and research.

    Observation:

    • A neonate presented with macrodactyly noted at birth.
    • Epidermal nevus (nevus unius lateris) became apparent at three months of age.
    • The patient exhibited both macrodactyly and epidermal nevus.

    Findings:

    • The simultaneous presentation of macrodactyly and epidermal nevus in a single patient is statistically improbable as a chance occurrence.
    • This co-occurrence raises the possibility of a shared underlying etiology or a novel syndromic entity.

  • Further documentation of similar cases is needed to establish a distinct syndrome.

    • Implications:

    • This case may represent a previously undescribed syndrome, necessitating further research and case collection.
    • Identifying such syndromes aids in understanding developmental pathways and genetic influences.
    • Accurate diagnosis of rare congenital anomalies impacts prognosis, genetic counseling, and potential therapeutic strategies.
