Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a congenital growth disorder characterised by abdominal wall defects, macroglossia and somatic gigantism. A number of associated features, including gastrointestinal and urinary tract polyps, have been described, but there are no previous reports of oral polyps occurring in this syndrome. We describe the first case of BWS presenting with an oral polyp. Clinicians should be alert to the possibility of BWS if other features of the syndrome are present, in children with oral polyps.
贝克威思-维德曼综合征(BWS)是一种先天性生长障碍,其特征为腹壁缺损、巨舌症和躯体巨大症。已描述了许多相关特征,包括胃肠道和泌尿道息肉,但此前并无该综合征出现口腔息肉的报道。我们报告了首例伴有口腔息肉的BWS病例。对于患有口腔息肉的儿童,如果存在该综合征的其他特征,临床医生应警惕BWS的可能性。
