The baby with Beckwith—Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) usually presents with exomphalos, macroglossia, and gigantism. As children with BWS are at increased risk of childhood cancer, they should be followed-up strictly for cancer screening. Here, we are reporting two cases with exomphalos, macroglossia, gigantism, and hemihypertrophy. We have corrected the exomphalos and advised him for follow-up for cancer screening.
