Abstract:
Jeune's syndrome is a rare autosomal disorder characterized by osseous dysplasia, fetal respiratory distress, and renal failure in later life. We describe a 27-year-old man with Jeune's syndrome who underwent renal transplantation and 6 years later developed a sarcoma (primitive neuroectodermal tumor [PNET]) in the soft tissue of the chest wall, a principal site of dysplasia in this disorder.
