book vs movie
In the novel reveals that Lecter’s left hand has a condition called mid ray duplication polydactyly. In Hannibal, he performs plastic surgery on his own face on several occasions, and removes his extra digit. Lecter’s eyes are a shade of maroon, and reflect the light in “pinpoints of red”. He is also said to have small white teeth and dark, slickedback hair with a widow’s peak.
