Abstract

Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for subsequent neoplasms. We describe the clinical presentation and genetic testing of a 29-year-old woman diagnosed with a pheochromocytoma 22 years post-treatment for childhood embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder. Genetic testing for cancer predisposition revealed a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 and a variant of uncertain significance in MSH2. Pathogenic variants associated with deafness were also identified in GJB2. This article reports a novel subsequent neoplasm following childhood embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, and discusses the potential contribution of genetic cancer predisposition to this case as well as the clinical implications of genetic testing.
