Case Report
We present the case of a patient, a 3-year-old male, who was referred to the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University for evaluation of a mass at the posteromedial aspect of his left ankle. The mass was not associated with pain but had been slowly enlarging for 3 months. He had a history of an obvious deformity and an abnormal gait for which he had undergone operative excision at a local hospital when he was 1 year old. Osteochondroma of the left ankle had been diagnosed. He had no
Discussion
DEH was originally described as tarsomégalie by Mouchet and Belot (8) in 1926. Subsequently, in 1950 and 1956, Trevor (9) and Fairbank (10) used the term tarso-epiphyseal aclasis and dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, respectively, to identify this uncommon skeletal developmental disorder. The reported prevalence of DEH has been 1 in 1,000,000, with male children affected up to 3 times more frequently than female children (11). The etiology is still unknown.
DEH typically involves 1 or several
