Abstract
Acute leukemia, hepatocellular carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma have been reported in patients with Fanconi's anemia. We report on a 31-year-old woman who developed squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and hepatocellular carcinoma. Jaundice and hepatic tumor developed in 1981, after she had received oxymetholone for 10 years. Liver biopsy revealed peliosis hepatis. Androgenic therapy was stopped and the jaundice resolved. However, the hepatic tumor was observed to be unchanged. The patient died of disseminated squamous cell carcinoma, but no metastatic lesions from hepatocellular carcinoma were detected in the autopsy. The association of Fanconi's anemia and squamous cell carcinoma is reviewed, and the malignant potential of androgen-related hepatic tumors is discussed.Keywords
