    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Developmental Biology
    • Pediatric Case Reports

    Background:

    • Congenital hemihypertrophy is a rare overgrowth disorder affecting one side of the body.
    • It can present with asymmetry in limbs, facial structures, and internal organs.
    • Early diagnosis and monitoring are crucial for managing potential complications.

    Observation:

    • A case of congenital hemihypertrophy in a female neonate is presented.
    • The condition affected the right hemi-tongue and the homolateral superior limb.
    • The patient was observed until 1 year and 5 months of age.

    Findings:

    • The clinical history and associated congenital defects were reviewed.
    • The potential for embryonal tumors in hemihypertrophy was considered.

  • Etiopathogenic hypotheses, treatment options, and prognostic factors were discussed.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation in congenital hemihypertrophy.
    • Understanding the association with embryonal tumors is critical for early detection and intervention.
    • Further research into the etiopathogenesis may improve management strategies.
