Jp. Garcia-de-la-torre et al., Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: The first reported case, PEDIAT PATH, 19(6), 2000, pp. 455-460
The Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is a rare condition characterized by macros
omia, macroglossia omphalocele, and visceromegaly. Although the development
of neoplasia is frequent, the English literature has never described an as
sociation with mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver. We report an exceptional
case of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome associated with a cystic mesenchymal h
amartoma of the liver in a newborn.
