Inheritance of congenital lipodystrophy is autosomal recessive, while it is autosomal dominant for familial lipodystrophy. In addition to congenital and familial lipodystrophies, this Panel has differentail diagnostics power to some rare phenotypes with overlapping symptoms. These include for example hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia with hemihypertrophy and mandibuloacral dysplasia with lipodystrop...

Wagner reported a case in 1839, and in the ensuing century about a hundred cases of partial or complete hemi-hypertrophy have been recorded. A brief description of the following case of hemihy...

An analysis of over 1800 patients with Wilms' tumor revealed significantly higher birth weights than newborns in the general United States population. The highest birth weights were found not only in patients diagnosed with the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (mean, 3.78 kg), as had been expected, but also in those with hemihypertrophy (3.80 kg) or perilobar nephrogenic rests (3.56 kg) in addition ...

Proteus syndrome is a rare overgrowth syndrome characterized by hemihypertrophy, lower limb asymmetry, hyperpigmentations, lipomas, and vascular malformation. In this paper, we present a new adolescent Proteus syndrome patient with bilateral megafoot. He was very successful in playing football and was very popular among his friends. We present this case for the psychological and surgical aspect...

Hemihyperplasia is a kind of regional body growth asymmetry and can be symptom several congenital disorders tumorous conditions. Torticollis most commonly caused by asymmetric hypertrophy the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Herein, we report case hemihyperplasia in an infant with ipsilateral torticollis. The baby was evaluated using physical examination ultrasonography. We observed significant righ...
