Abstract
We describe a 4-year-old boy with Russell-Silver syndrome (RSS) found to have hepatocellular carcinoma. The brother of this child also had manifestations of RSS. This is the third malignancy and the first hepatocellular carcinoma described in a patient with RSS. The coexistence of hepatocellular carcinoma and RSS may be completely fortuitous; however, the known association of liver cancer with growth abnormality and hemihypertrophy, findings also present in RSS, suggest that these disorders may be related.Entities:
