Extractions: Jennifer exhibited signs of Hemihypertrophy on her right side not long after birth. Both her right leg and arm appeared larger in size then her left. At the time we were told that it was nothing to worry about as it would likely balance out as she grew older. We were never told what it was at the time and to this day we are not sure if her pediatrician or family doctor actually knew what she has. In the Summer of 1999 ,Jennifer began to associate some pain on her left side when she was bloated. We took her to see her family doctor who thought it was nothing but ordered an ultrasound to be sure (thank God). The next day she had an ultrasound that appeared to go fine. At the time I thought it was unusual that the ultrasound technician focused on the right side of her stomach when the pain was on the left. The day after we heard what most parents would never expect to hear, Jennifer had an abdominal mass located around her right kidney. At this point we were more in shock than scared. Arrangements were made to go to a urologist early the following week for more tests. That very night however, Jennifer began to have terrible pains on her left side. We rushed Jennifer to the local hospital where a stomach x ray confirmed the existence of a tumor.

Extractions: Tell a friend Hemihypertrophy: Asymmetric overgrowth (hypertrophy) of the skull, face, trunk, limbs, and/or digits, with or without visceral involvement. Hemihypertrophy may be an isolated finding in an otherwise normal individual, or it may appear as part of several syndromes, including the Wiedemann-Beckwith syndrome. Hemihypertrophy carries an increased risk of Wilms tumor (of the kidney), hepatoblastoma (liver cancer), and adrenal cancer. Other problems associated with hemihypertrophy include scoliosis and unequal leg length with walking difficulties. Print this page About Talk Medical Help Contact Us ... Terms and Conditions

Extractions: Posted by Michelle on April 27, 1999 at 14:46:58 My daughter was diagnosed with hemihypertrophy when she was about 4 months old. She is now 2 1/2 years old. We have done all the screening, and this seems to be the only problem, other than doing routine ultrasounds. My question is that lately towards the end of the day (especially when she has done alot of running around) she complain about her larger foot hurthing. She has, on several occasions, been so bothered by it that she has cried. I generally give her children's motrin and within a little while she is fine. Is there anything that I should be conserned about, or are these just growing pains? Posted by hfhs.m.d.l.m on April 29, 1999 at 23:53:37 Dear michelle ; It may just be growing pains . Have you looked into the possibility of this hemihypertrophy being caused by a hemangioma . Pooling of blood in a cavernous hemangioma under the effect of gravity coupled with an active agenda may give a feeling of heaviness or discomfort on the affected side . The syndrome is called Proteus syndrome . Dermatologists and genetists have a great interest in this form of hemihypertrophy .

However, marked disproportion is not common, and less than 120 cases have been reported in the world literature. The nature and causation of this condition have never been satisfactorily explained although there have been many speculative theories as to the etiology. The purpose of this paper is

The possibility that Wilms' tumor (nephroblastoma) has prenatal origins is based on the histologic appearance suggesting embryonic maldevelopment, a peak incidence in early childhood, its detection among newborn children and in the fetus, and reported associations with congenital malformations. Among the anomalies found to occur excessively in a multi-hospital survey of children with Wilms' tumor were aniridia, genitourinary defects

The appearance was one of inappropriately large size of the affected side rather than contralateral atrophy.
