Successful treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a patient with Fanconi anemia.

Fanconi anemia is a congenital syndrome characterized by hypoplasia of bone marrow and the development of aplastic anemia in childhood, followed by myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia in later life. We report here a patient first diagnosed with Fanconi anemia at age 10. Bone marrow transplantation was performed at age 23 and repeated after an episode of rejection at age 25.
