A five‐day‐old child with lipid hemihypertrophy: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Lipid hemihypertrophy should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neonatal asymmetry. Early recognition and further evaluation for associated disorders are important for appropriate management and surveillance of potential complications. Abstract We present the case of a 5‐day‐old female neonate who presented with a visibly enlarged right thigh, right labia majora, and below the right mandible. This case report highlights the importance of early identification, comprehensive evaluation, and multidisciplinary management in neonates with lipid hemihypertrophy to optimize their long‐term outcomes and quality of life.
