Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS), an overgrowth syndrome is associated with early development of embryonal tumours usually in the first four years of life. Hepatoblastoma is observed in 1% to 3% of persons with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome or isolated hemihypertrophy(HH). We report a case of hepatoblastoma associated with both BWS and HH with raised serum alpha-feto protein levels and hypoglycaemia.
