It results in disproportionate increase in size of affected limbs or digits manifesting as localized gigantism. Diagnosis of MDL depends on clinical features and imaging studies. We present a case of MDL causing gigantism in the right upper and right lower limb. Keywords: Macrodystrophia Lipomatosa MDL, macrodactyly, congenital localised gigantism.
