title: Macrocephaly with multiple soft tissue and visceral hamartomas ("Bannayan-Zonana" syndrome). Case report.
abstract: Since its first description few cases of the rare association of macrocephaly with multiple soft tissue and visceral hamartomas (Bannayan-Zonana syndrome) have been reported. In this paper we report a case of a 7 year old child in whom lipomas of the abdomen and right flank have been treated with liposuction. We could find no previous evidence that this surgical technique has been used in the treatment of this syndrome.
