The clinical presentation will vary and can include pain, difficulty putting shoes, inhibition of function, potential of fracture and cosmetic reasons . The decision as to its proper therapy is often very difficult and the surgical excision of FT with reconstruction allows excellent results .…”

A 6-month-old Caucasian baby is described with a postaxial polydactyly of the letf foot. Radiographic examination revealed the accessory digit was composed of soft tissue, some with a tiny osseous element, originated from around the metatarsophalangeal joint, defined by floating type (FT). The parents had consistent difficulty putting shoes. We encountered an exceedingly rare presentation of FT, to our inspection, had neither been previously related in published studies. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the unusual case of congenital deformity lesion on the left foot to be reported in the medical literature.
