Abstract
Introduction: Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS) is a congenital disorder that involves a somatic overgrowth during the patient’s first years of life and associated with visceromegaly, macroglossia, abdominal wall defects, pre and postnatal overgrowth, and neonatal hypoglycemia.
Case Report: This is a case report of a 14-year-old male patient who presented with macroglossia and Wilm’s Tumor. Diagnosis was made after karyotyping, which showed an abnormality in chromosome 11p15 and dental treatment was done.
Conclusion: Pediatric dentists should be aware of Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome and its oral manifestations as they can encounter this condition in their clinical practice.
