Brit.

/ˌmakrə(ʊ)ˈsəʊmɪə/, U.S.

/ˈˌmækrəˈsoʊmiə/

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with English elements. Etymons: macro- comb. form, Greek σῶμα , -ia suffix¹.

Etymology: < macro- comb. form + ancient Greek σῶμα body (see soma n.²) + -ia suffix¹.

Excessive size of the body or a part of it, gigantism; (later) esp. excessive size of the fetus for gestational age (most commonly as a result of maternal diabetes).

ΚΠ

1857 R. Dunglison Med. Lexicon (rev. ed.) 422/2 Macrosomia.

1903 J. C. Edgar Pract. Obstetr. iii. 270 General macrosomia (giantism): This condition may not be noticed until after birth.

1967 Arch. Neurol. (Chicago) 17 75/1 The hypertrophy of localized macrosomia is not limited to bones and muscles but involves all the tissues of the limb.

1987 D. J. Weatherall et al. Oxf. Textbk. Med. (ed. 2) I. xi. 23/2 The final outcome is an overgrowth of the fetus which in simple terms can be likened to the response to forced feeding. Thus, fetal gigantism or macrosomia is characteristic of the neonate born to a diabetic woman.

1998 Jrnl. Pediatr. 132 401 Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome is an overgrowth syndrome associated with macrosomia, omphalocele, macroglossia, visceromegaly and Wilms tumor.
