Abstract

Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic proliferative disorder, often associated with hyperplasia of various organs, including the adrenal glands.(1) Benign hemorrhagic adrenal cysts are a relatively common form of adrenal mass observed in patients with this syndrome, although they are typically asymptomatic. However, their presence requires careful monitoring due to the potential risks of complications and progression.(2) We report a case of bilateral adrenal cystic masses detected during a routine third-trimester prenatal ultrasound, associated with macrosomia and macroglossia at birth.
