Early presentation of right adrenal mass, hepatoblastoma and hepatic cavernous haemangioma in Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.

چکیده
Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is associated with early development of embryonal tumours usually in the first four years of life. We describe a patient who presented with a right adrenal cyst in the first month of life and hepatoblastoma in the third month of life. A cavernous haemangioma was subsequently found in the resected tumour.

متن کاملGenomic profiles of a hepatoblastoma from a patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome with uniparental disomy on chromosome 11p15 and germline mutation of APC and PALB2
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a congenital overgrowth disorder mainly associated with altered genomic imprinting at chromosome 11p15.5. Children with BWS, especially uniparental disomy (UPD) at 11p15.5, are at increased risk of embryonal tumors including hepatoblastoma. Although genetic alterations of sporadic hepatoblastomas have been identified, integrated germline and somatic alterati...
