Mesenchymal Hamartoma of the Liver in an Infant With Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome: A Rare Condition Mimicking Hepatoblastoma.

Patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) are known to be at an increased risk for childhood malignancies, particularly Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma. We report a case of genetically confirmed BWS in a 5-month-old girl who presented with a 9.5-cm abdominal mass associated with elevated α-fetoprotein levels. The clinical impression was strongly suggestive of hepatoblastoma. Histologic examination of the surgically excised mass revealed mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL), a benign hepatic neoplasm.
