A case of Turner's syndrome complicated with desmoid tumor of the transverse colon.
The association of Turner's syndrome and endometrial carcinoma has been previously established, but has never been described in conjunction with a desmoid tumor of the colon. A case is described of a colonic desmoid tumor developing in a 38-year-old female with Turner's syndrome. The association has not been previously reported. In this report, we describe a 38-year-old woman who has Turner's syndrome with a colonic desmoid and review the literature.
