Abstract
A 26-year-old male with ataxia-telangiectasia died with a gastric adenocarcinoma. Malignancy is a recognised complication of this condition, the majority of cases being reticuloendothelial. There have been three reports of gastric adenocarcinoma associated with ataxia-telangiectasia; this, however, is the first in British published reports.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
