“…Thus, tumors types, sites of origin, and age of detection vary greatly and Cases reported by Mankad et al, 1974;Pendergrass, 1976;Ehrich et al, 1979;Howitz et al, 1979;Wirtz et al, 1993;Salman et al, 1993;Carter et al, 1995;Lezama-del et al, 1998;Bujanda et al, 2001;Fay et al, 2003, Chang et al, 2004 render screening difficult or impractical [Hersh et al, 1992]. Nevertheless, a protocol for monitoring SS patients is found in Table IX.…”

Overgrowth syndromes (OGS) comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders in which the main characteristic is that either weight, height, or head circumference is 2-3 standard deviations (SD) above the mean for sex and age. A striking feature of OGS is the risk of neoplasms. Here, the relative frequency of specific tumors in each OGS, topographic location, and age of appearance is determined by reviewing published cases. In some OGS (Perlman, Beckwith-Wiedemann, and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndromes and hemihyperplasia) more than 94% of tumors appeared in the abdomen usually before 10 years of age, mainly embryonal in type. In Perlman syndrome, only Wilms tumor has been recorded, whereas in Sotos syndrome, lympho-hematologic tumors are most frequent. Based on literature review, a specific schedule protocol for tumor screening is suggested for each OGS. A schedule with different intervals and specific tests is proposed for a more rational cost/benefit program for these disorders.

“…KTS is a rare disorder characterized by capillary vascular malformation, varicose veins and bony and soft tissue hypertrophy of the involved extremity, and classified in the group of complex‐combined vascular malformations 6 . Occurrence of benign and malignant tumors, such as lymphangioma, Wilm's tumor, squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, meningioma and Hodgkin's disease have been reported in KTS 7−10 .…”
