Sotos' syndrome, or cerebral gigantism, is a disorder of growth regulation. 
Tumours have occasionally been reported in children with Sotos' syndrome, but it 
is uncertain whether this is a coincidence, or whether it is aetiologically 
related to the underlying disorder of growth. We report a 15 month old child 
with a paraspinal neuroblastoma and Sotos' syndrome and suggest that children 
with this condition may be at higher risk for developing tumours than the 
general population.
