Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (Trevor's disease) is a rare developmental disorder of epiphyseal growth. A review of the literature reveals that metatarsal involvement has been described in only two cases and in these cases two metatarsals were reported as being only slightly enlarged. This article reports a case of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica involving the medial half of the epiphysis of the left fifth metatarsal.
