Abstract
- Li-Fraumeni syndrome is an autosomal dominant familial cancer syndrome characterized by a diverse set of tumors, including sarcoma, breast cancer, brain tumor, adrenocortical carcinoma, and acute leukemia, affecting family members. We report a case of Li-Fraumeni syndrome which was confirmed by mutational analysis of the p53 gene. A three-year-old boy, who had been on remission for six months from rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder, visited our hospital due to right side weakness. He was diagnosed as anaplastic astrocytoma in the left basal ganglia via brain MRI and biopsy. We checked for p53 gene mutation of his family members due to his familial cancer history of maternal family. We found a point mutation on p53 gene in the patient, his two sisters, and mother, but not in his father
