Prevalence of Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome and Risk of Embryonal
Tumors in Children Born with Omphalocele
Journal of Pediatric Surgery
Children with omphalocele have an increased prevalence of Beckwith Wiedemann
syndrome (BWS) and thus a suspected increased risk of developing embryonal tumors, e.g. Wilms tumor,
hepatoblastoma, neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of BWS and the risk of embryonal tumors amongst patients born with omphalocele.
