Abstract
We report the first case of the association of Sotos syndrome and gastric c arcinoma (containing signet ring cells) in a twin patient. The other - prob ably monozygous - twin is also affected by the Sotos syndrome. The associat ion of malign tumors in Sotos syndrome and other overgrowth syndromes is di scussed.
