Unusual prenatal presentation of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.
When Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is detected prenatally, it is usually on the basis of macroglossia, exomphalos or enlarged kidneys. We describe a case that presented as gross hepatomegaly and a suspected enlarged pancreas at 20 weeks' gestation, with none of the usual features.
