[A case of cholangiocarcinoma and dysgerminoma associated with Turner's syndrome]

A rare case of cholangiocarcinoma and dysgerminoma synchronously associated with Turner's syndrome was reported. A 53-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital on July 12, 1984 due to intrahepatic and left inguinal tumors. Physical examination revealed the typical characteristics of Turner's syndrome. The karyotype from myelocyte and fibrocyte culture was interpreted as 45, X. The resected intrahepatic tumor was cholangiocarcinoma that had invaded to the transverse mesocolon and the duodenum, while the inguinal lesion was dysgerminoma derived from a dysgenetic gonad. As far as we have been able to ascertain through our investigations of the literature on malignant disease in Turner's syndrome, the association of cholangiocarcinoma with Turner's syndrome has not been reported previously.
