Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome is an autosomal dominant growth excess disorder, which occurs with a reported incidence of 1 in 13,700 to 1 in 17,000 live births. It constitutes a discrete clinicopathologic entity characterized by macroglossia, abdominal wall defects (omphalocele), visceromegaly, gigantism, hemihypertrophy, hypoglycemia, and the increased risk of solid tumor development from multiple cell lines. A macroglossia is a key component of the syndrome, and can lead to cosmetic, functional and psychologic disorder. This report shows a 5-year-old patient with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, who had macroglossia and received reduction glossectomy.
