摘要：

Individuals with overgrowth have been the subjects of numerous myths and art pieces in various cultures, often depicted as deities or creatures of divine origin, such as giants or titans. In more recent times, however, subjects with signs of generalized or segmental overgrowth have been considered as "freaks of nature," in the disparaging language of the time, and represented in artworks as elements of entertainment or amusement. The different meanings assigned to overgrowth in myth and art through time provide an interesting perspective of the sociocultural approach to dysmorphic traits and genetic disorders.
