Abstract

This report documents a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue in a child with Fanconi anemia (FA). FA is an autosomal recessive syndrome defined by chromosomal breakage in response to diepoxybutane or mitomycin C in which many patients present with pancytopenia, hypoplastic bone marrow, hyperpigmentation of the skin, skeletal malformations, small stature, hypogonadism, and chromosomal aberrations. Such patients are prone to the development of hematological malignancies and squamous cell carcinoma, especially of the head and neck. Although FA appears to be genetically heterogeneous, all cases display abnormalities of DNA repair. A gene defective in one of the four subsets of FA patients has been defined. Defects in this gene are thought to play a role in the development of neoplasia in FA patients. However, many other factors may also contribute to the development of malignancies, including immune deficiencies, therapeutic strategies, and bone marrow transplantation. This report reviews the association of FA and SCC and highlights the many factors involved in the development of neoplasia within a single patient, including FA, cyclophosphamide, immunosuppression, X-irradiation, and chronic oral graft-versus-host dis...Continue Reading
