Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare congenital disorder characterised by unilateral bone overgrowth from large joints, mainly the ankle or knee. We present two cases with bilateral lesions; only two similar cases with bilateral involvement have been reported hitherto. The differential diagnosis is considered.
