Abstract
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a rare congenital overgrowth syndrome associated with certain childhood tumours. We present the case of a 36-year-old lady with BWS who developed a left frontoinsular secondary glioblastoma. This is the first case report in the literature of glioblastoma associated with BWS. We explore similarities in the molecular pathomechanisms of BWS and glioblastoma.
