- Abstract
Adrenocortical and ureteral carcinomas were observed in a 50-year-old Japanese woman with Werner syndrome (MIM No. 27770). The syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by premature aging and an increased risk of rare cancers, which are often multiple. This is the first reported association of adrenocortical carcinoma in Werner syndrome. Copyright © 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel
