Haslam et al.1 appear to accept the concept of the combined "Russell-Silver syndrome" postulated by a number of authors. I do not, and I believe that the study of craniofacial proportions allows one to differentiate three types of intrauterine drawfs (Table I).2,3 See the Table in PDF File Finally, Haslam et al.1 do not tell us what the asymmetry is in their first two patients; as an example, should unilateral ptosis or unilateral cryptorchidism qualify a patient for inclusion under the category of body asymmetry?

The chapter discusses body asymmetry occurring as an isolated clinical feature or as part of well-characterized syndromes. The term “lateralized overgrowth” has been recently introduced to describe conditions characterized by disproportionate growth of one side of the body that might be caused by hemihyperplasia and/or hemihypertrophy. The chapter also provides a brief clinical overview of the major syndromes associated with lateralized overgrowth and discusses the molecular anomalies causing this disorder. Prognosis of conditions characterized by lateralized overgrowth varies according to the underlying cause. Treatment and management of conditions characterized by lateralized overgrowth mainly focus on tumor surveillance and management of eventual difference of limb length. Leg-length discrepancy can be associated with significant morbidity and can negatively influence the quality of life.

Abstract Background Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is characterized by growth retardation and variable features including macrocephaly, body asymmetry, and genital manifestations such as cryptorchidism in 46,XY patients. Case presentation The patient was born at 39 weeks with a birth weight of 1344 g. Subtle clitoromegaly warranted a thorough evaluation, which disclosed 46,XY karyotype, bilateral undescended testes, and a rudimentary uterus. Because of severe under-virilization, the patient was assigned as female. Failure to thrive, macrocephaly, and body asymmetry led to the diagnosis of SRS, confirmed by marked hypomethylation of H19/IGF2 intergenic differentially methylated region (IG-DMR). From age 9 years, progressive virilization occurred, which necessitated luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LHRHa) treatment. Gonadal resection at 15 years revealed immature testes with mostly Sertoli-cell-only tubules. Panel analysis for 46,XY-differences of sex development (DSD) failed to detect any pathogenic variants. Conclusions This is the second reported case of molecularly proven 46,XY SRS accompanied by severe under-virilization. SRS should be included in the differential diagnosis of 46,XY-DSD.
