Congenital hepatoblastoma and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome: a case study including DNA ploidy profiles of tumor and adrenal cytomegaly.
A case of fatal congenital hepatoblastoma is described in which the autopsy provided the first evidence of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Aneuploid quantitative DNA patterns were found by image analysis of the tumor and the cytomegalic adrenal gland.
