The objective of this report is to describe the first patient presenting clinical features of trisomy 13 in association with a sacrococcygeal teratoma.
We present the case of a Congolese female infant born with bilateral cleft lip and palate, hypotelorism, microcephaly, and capillary hemangioma on her face. She presented with a large sacrococcygeal mass (15.0 cm ×12.0 cm ×5.0 cm) with a cystic consistency and a positive transillumination.
This observation suggests that overexpression of certain genes on chromosome 13 may lead to tumor formation from remnant cells of Hensen's node.
本报告的目的是描述首例表现出13三体临床特征并伴有骶尾部畸胎瘤的患者。
我们报告了一名刚果女婴的病例,该女婴出生时患有双侧唇腭裂、眼距过窄、小头畸形以及面部毛细血管瘤。她还出现了一个巨大的骶尾部肿物(15.0厘米×12.0厘米×5.0厘米),质地呈囊性,透光试验呈阳性。
该病例表明13号染色体上某些基因的过度表达可能导致亨森结残留细胞形成肿瘤。
