The Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and Neuroblastoma

Hannah Kinney MD1, Roger Faix MD1, and Jane Brazy MD1

1 Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina

In 1977 Hornstein et al1 reported the occurrence of adrenal carcinoma in a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. Recently Seeler et al2 noted a ganglioneuroblastoma in a child with fetal hydantoin-alcohol syndromes. The association of neural crest tumors with fetal hydantoin syndrome now appears established.2 The following case suggests an association with neoplasia may also exist for fetal alcohol syndrome.
