An extra biphalangeal thumb, complete with thumbnail, was present in the left hand (Fig. 1). [deepdyve.com]
When present, one should search for an associated syndrome (particularly if a triphalangeal thumb is present), such as Holt-Oram syndrome (atrial and ventricular septal defects, abnormal thumb - from absent to triphalangeal), short ribs polydactyly syndromes [humpath.com]
It is also presented as a part of a broader phenotypic spectrum. [docslide.net]
Ears

Typical features of DS were noted, including hypotonia, brachycephaly, upslanting palpebral ï¬ssures, ï¬at nasal bridge, low-set ears, a single transverse palmar crease in the right hand, bilateral ï¬fth ï¬nger clinodactyly and bilateral wide gaps [deepdyve.com]
