| Abstract: | 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. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
