Abstract:
Congenital hemihypertrophy is one of the more unusual and interesting errors of nature found in the human race. The hemihypertrophy was first described by Meckel in 1822, and the first case was recorded by Wagner in 1839. Since that time, over 140 cases have been reported. The purpose of this article is to report an additional case along with review of previous literatures.
