Sotos syndrome is included among the overgrowth disorders, most of which have an increased risk of neoplasms. Sotos syndrome does not appear to be related to a specific tumor type, but rather to the development of solid tumors of ectodermal or mesodermal origin in general. We report on two Sotos syndrome patients who developed a non-Hodgkin lymphoma and an acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, respectively. Our experience suggests that there may exist a high frequency of lymphoproliferative disorders in Sotos syndrome, and points out the importance of a long-term follow-up of Sotos syndrome patients, to detect a possible neoplastic evolution.
