Abstract
We report eight cases of complex radial polydactyly and/or ulnar dimelia each with a fistulous lesion of heterotopic respiratory mucosa in radial-anterior skin ranging from shoulder to wrist. Although speculative, the coincidence of these rare conditions suggests a mechanistic relationship.
