Summary |
Bloom syndrome (BS) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterized by chromosomal instability leading to a high risk of cancer at an early age. The diagnosis should be considered in patients with short stature, photosensitivity, variable degrees of immunodeficiency, and hypogonadism. We report a 19-year-old woman, with history of dysmorphic features and recurrent infections. The diagnosis of bloom syndrome was made and confirmed cytogenetically at the age of 14years. She developed a colon cancer revealed by venous thrombosis and anemia. She died after 15days of the cancer diagnosis. This is the first registrated case of confirmed Bloom syndrome in Tunisian population.
