    胎儿肾母细胞瘤(WT)极为罕见,但是随着胎儿成像的进步,报告了更多的病例。这些案件的管理仍然具有挑战性。在这里,我们介绍了一例足月女婴在妊娠32周时经产前诊断,在常规产前超声检查中检测到右实肾肿块,但没有羊水过多。出生时,婴儿很健康,没有证据的畸形特征或异常的实验室检查表明倾向综合征。她的家族史也平淡无奇。在生命的第2天进行了成功的根治性右肾切除术,发现了经典的WT。她接受了长春新碱作为辅助化疗,没有任何并发症。在1个月大的时候,该婴儿出现了孤立的右下肢偏侧过度生长,怀疑Beckwith-Wiedemann综合征。在最近的4年随访中,孩子健康无病,下肢保守不对称。该病例提供了对胎儿WT的挑战性诊断和治疗的见解。对文献的回顾表明,羊水过多的存在是一个较差的预后因素,而最佳的支持性护理和手术的结合仍然是最佳的治疗方法。胎儿WT可能与易感性综合征有关;然而,它们的最初表现可以在癌症诊断后发展,就像我们的病人一样。我们建议对任何胎儿WT病例启动积极监测计划和基因检测。
    Fetal Wilms tumor (WT) is extremely rare, but with advances in fetal imaging, more cases are being reported. The management of these cases remains challenging. Herein, we present the case of a full-term female infant diagnosed antenatally at 32 weeks of gestation with a right solid renal mass detected on routine prenatal ultrasound without polyhydramnios. At birth, the infant was healthy, with no evidence of dysmorphic features or abnormal laboratory tests to suggest a predisposition syndrome. Her family history was also unremarkable. A successful radical right nephrectomy was performed on day 2 of life revealing a classic WT. She received vincristine as adjuvant chemotherapy without any complications. At the age of 1 month, the infant developed isolated lateralized overgrowth of the right lower limb suspicious of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. At the latest follow-up of 4 years, the child is healthy and disease-free with conserved asymmetry of lower limbs. The case provides insights into the challenging diagnosis and treatment of fetal WT. A review of the literature suggests that the presence of polyhydramnios is a worse prognostic factor while the combination of best supportive care and surgery remains the best management. Fetal WT can be associated with predisposition syndromes; however, their first manifestations can develop after the diagnosis of cancer has been made, as in our patient. We propose starting active surveillance programs and genetic testing for any case of fetal WT.

    背景:Beckwith-Wiedemann综合征(BWS)是由染色体11p15.5的多种遗传和/或表观遗传疾病引起的基因组印记疾病。BWS具有多种临床特征,包括过度生长和胚胎肿瘤的风险增加。然而,值得注意的是,BWS和乳腺肿瘤患者的报告很少见,这些情况之间的关联尚不清楚。已知胰岛素样生长因子-2(IGF2)的表达与各种癌症的发展有关。包括乳腺癌,已知具有特定分子缺陷亚型的BWS患者表现出特征性临床特征和IGF2过表达。
    方法:一名17岁女孩因脐疝被诊断患有BWS,高胰岛素血症,出生时留下了半肥大,左乳房逐渐肿胀,参观了我们的部门。在视觉检查中,她的左乳房明显大于她的右乳房。影像学检查显示,左乳房有两个肿瘤,每个肿瘤约10厘米,芯针活检后,她被诊断出患有青少年纤维腺瘤。手术切除了两个乳腺肿瘤,患者仍然活着,没有复发。最终诊断为青少年纤维腺瘤,无恶性发现。使用IGF2抗体的免疫组织化学染色显示IGF2在导管上皮细胞的细胞质中过度表达。由于她的临床特征和IGF2过表达,怀疑11p15.5的分子缺陷,包括11号染色体的父系单亲二体性或印迹中心1的超甲基化的可能遗传背景。
    结论:在这种情况下,IGF2的过度表达提示BWS与乳腺肿瘤之间可能存在关系。此外,特征性临床特征和IGF2染色预测了该患者11p15.5分子缺陷的亚型。
    BACKGROUND: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genomic imprinting disorder caused by diverse genetic and/or epigenetic disorders of chromosome 11p15.5. BWS presents with a variety of clinical features, including overgrowth and an increased risk of embryonal tumors. Notably however, reports of patients with BWS and breast tumors are rare, and the association between these conditions is still unclear. Insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF2) expression is known to be associated with the development of various cancers, including breast cancer, and patients with BWS with specific subtypes of molecular defects are known to show characteristic clinical features and IGF2 overexpression.
    METHODS: A 17-year-old girl who had been diagnosed with BWS based on an umbilical hernia, hyperinsulinemia, and left hemihypertrophy at birth, visited our department with a gradually swelling left breast. Her left breast was markedly larger than her right breast on visual examination. Imaging examinations showed two tumors measuring about 10 cm each in the left breast, and she was diagnosed with juvenile fibroadenoma following core needle biopsy. The two breast tumors were removed surgically and the patient remained alive with no recurrence. The final diagnosis was juvenile fibroadenoma without malignant findings. Immunohistochemical staining using IGF2 antibody revealed overexpression of IGF2 in the cytoplasm of ductal epithelial cells. Because of her clinical features and IGF2 overexpression, molecular defects of 11p15.5 including a possible genetic background of paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 11 or hypermethylation of imprinting center 1 was suspected.
    CONCLUSIONS: In this case, overexpression of IGF2 suggested a possible relationship between BWS and breast tumors. Moreover, the characteristic clinical features and IGF2 staining predicted the subtype of 11p15.5 molecular defects in this patient.

    We present a rare case of an 8-year-old male with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) and a Chiari I malformation (CIM). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate facial asymmetry and speech delay at age two revealed CIM with cerebellar tonsils 1.3 cm below the foramen magnum without syringomyelia. The patient underwent a craniectomy and posterior fossa decompression with C1 laminectomy. While gene sequencing determined the patient was negative for the PIK3CA gene mutation, the patient\'s clinical history strongly suggests KTS. He has hemihypertrophy, leg length discrepancy, hemangiomas and pigmentary mosaicism along the upper and lower extremities, heart murmur, chronic low heart rate, recurrent hip pain, and mild scoliosis. Neurodevelopmental concerns include difficulty reading, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and difficulty running and going downstairs. His most recent MRI shows good decompression at the cervicomedullary junction, global cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, and less peg-like cerebellar tonsils. Also noted were two intravertebral hemangiomas at T5 and T6. While the patient\'s speech has improved, there is still difficulty with the expressive language. He still has mild delays, runs slowly, and does not alternate feet when climbing stairs. The patient is being followed by multiple specialists including neurology, hematology-oncology, genetics, orthopedic surgery, and developmental pediatrics.

    众所周知,髁突增生会导致面部不对称,并构成公认的单侧下颌扩大组。髁突增生已分为半下颌增生和半下颌伸长。一种罕见得多的疾病,半颜面增生(或半颜面肥大)是一种先天性畸形,其特征是面部硬组织和软组织明显的单侧过度发育。受影响侧的生长速度比非受影响侧的生长速度快,造成明显的不对称,可能涉及骨骼和牙齿,以及相关软组织的所有成分。面部增生通常在出生时被发现,并进展到青春期,但被认为不会在受影响个体的整个一生中发生变化。介绍了5例临床诊断为半颜面增生的患者,为了回顾临床特征,讨论他们的个人手术管理,并总结了最近对可能导致半颜面增生和相关过度生长障碍的基因突变的鉴定。据推测,根据遗传因素,在特定情况下,该疾病可能是进行性的。
    Condylar hyperplasia is known to result in facial asymmetries and constitutes a well-recognized group of unilateral mandibular enlargements. Condylar hyperplasia has been sub-classified into hemimandibular hyperplasia and hemimandibular elongation. A much rarer disorder, hemifacial hyperplasia (or hemifacial hypertrophy) is a congenital malformation characterized by prominent unilateral overdevelopment of the hard and soft tissues of the face. The affected side grows at a faster rate than the non-affected side, creating a marked asymmetry that potentially involves the skeleton and teeth, as well as all components of the associated soft tissues. Hemifacial hyperplasia is usually identified at birth and progresses towards puberty, but is not thought to alter throughout the lifetime of affected individuals. A case series of five patients clinically diagnosed with hemifacial hyperplasia is presented, with the aim of reviewing the clinical features, discussing their individual surgical management, and summarizing the more recent identification of possible genetic mutations that may be responsible for hemifacial hyperplasia and related overgrowth disorders. It is speculated that depending on the genetic factors, the disorder may be progressive in specific cases.

    Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital disorder with an incidence of 1 in 100,000. It is characterized by a triad of capillary malformations (hemangiomas) or port-wine stains, venous varicosities, and bony- or soft-tissue hypertrophy. The capillary malformation is usually confined to a single extremity, usually a lower limb. The disease can lead to various morbidities, such as bleeding, deep vein thrombosis, venous ulcers, and embolic complications. We report a case of an 11-year-old girl who presented with the three classical symptoms of KTS, with port-wine stains in the left leg, an enlarged and elongated left leg, and soft-tissue hypertrophy and multiple venous varicosities in the left tibia. A subcutaneous hemangioma along with intramuscular hemangiomas in the leg muscles was noted with increased adipose tissue. The rare finding of an intraneural hemangioma of the distal posterior tibial nerve was also diagnosed. Ultrasound of the lower limb was the main tool in making the diagnosis of KTS. X-Ray and MRI were ancillary imaging modalities. This article describes the case study of the child and the findings of a detailed ultrasound examination.

    OBJECTIVE: Proteus syndrome (PS) is characterized by patchy or segmental overgrowth and hyperplasia of multiple tissues and organs, along with susceptibility to development of tumors. Very few cases are reported in literature from developing countries. Due to certain overlapping features with other overgrowth syndromes, diagnosis is usually delayed. Our aim was to describe clinical profile of this rare condition in six patients.
    METHODS: Retrospective case sheet review of patients followed in a Pediatric Genetic and Metabolic clinic at a tertiary care institute of North India with a diagnosis of hemihypertrophy/overgrowth syndrome.
    RESULTS: Six cases presented with asymmetric overgrowth and peculiar features suggestive of PS were included in this study. Age at presentation was 2 months to 10 years; two were males and four were females. Hemihypertrophy was noticed in only one case at birth, and focal overgrowths in rest of other patients were seen later during childhood.
    CONCLUSIONS: Due to certain overlapping features with other overgrowth syndromes, diagnosis of PS is usually delayed. Pediatricians are the first persons who come across such patients and they should be aware about this rare condition.
