Abstract

Results of fifteen-year follow-up from a single center: findings and risks for tumor development in isolated hemihyperplasia cases: Isolated hemihyperplasia is abnormal asymmetric growth of one or more parts of the body without any underlying disease. The risk for the development of embryonal tumor is increased in the subjects with isolated hemihyperplasia. The study presented here retrospectively evaluated the clinical data and the risk for tumor development in the cases with isolated hemihyperplasia.
