Genome-wide paternal uniparental isodisomy mosaicism (GWpUPIDM) is an extremely rare condition characterized by varying proportions of an androgenetic cell line across different tissues. It is primarily associated with severe congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) stigmata, a high risk (69-79%) of developing neoplasia and, in some cases, additional manifestations of multilocus paternal imprinting disorders (MPIDs). We herein report the first Mexican/Latin American female patient GWpUPIDM presenting with non-syndromic CHI requiring subtotal pancreatectomy and persistent but unexplained asymptomatic diffuse hepatopathy.

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) and hepatic mesenchymal hamartomas are rare diseases associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS). We present the case of a 22-year-old diagnosed with PMD at 24 weeks gestation who required emergent delivery secondary to fetal distress and preeclampsia at 30 weeks' gestation. The neonate was diagnosed with a hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma following delivery.

This paper reports the case of a 10-month-old male infant with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) who presented with a reducible right inguinal mass and an empty scrotum for 10 months and was admitted for elective surgery. Preoperative ultrasonography revealed a right adrenal mass, which was pathologically diagnosed as ganglioneuroblastoma (GNB) after surgical excision. The patient exhibited characteristic features of BWS, including omphalocele, flame-shaped nevus on the forehead, bilateral earlobe creases, and embryonal tumor.

Background: Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (PHHI) affects between 0.5% and 5% of pediatric patients. This condition is caused by a dysfunction of pancreatic β-cells, leading to tumors and hyperinsulinism, which result in persistent hypoglycemia.

The investigation of congenital imprinting disorders (CIDs) provides opportunities to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and role of genomic imprinting in development and human disease. Beckwith-Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is a prototypic CID resulting from genetic and epigenetic alterations of imprinted genes at chromosome 11p15.5.
