Neoplasms associated with hemihypertophy, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome and aniridia

Abstract

Hemihypertophy and the Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome are associated with Wilms tumor and adrenocortical carcinoma. These conditions also have a relationship with nodular renal blastema, nephroblastomatosis and adrenocortical adenomas, all of which are pre-malignant lesions. children with aniridia also are predisposed to development of Wilms tumors.
