Abstract
PATIENT: A case of Turner's syndrome developing a leiomyosarcoma of the oropharynx and metachronous neurogenic tumors (mediastinal 'ganglioneuroblastoma intermixed', subcutaneous neurilemoma) is described. DISCUSSION: To our knowledge, this case is the second reported leiomyosarcoma in a patient with Turner's syndrome. Also the site of involvement (palate and oropharynx) is particularly unusual for the already rare leiomyosarcomas in the young age.Entities:
