Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2009 Oct-Nov;26(7):496-503. doi: 10.1080/08880010902773263.

Abstract

Jarcho-Levin syndrome (JLS) is a congenital disorder characterized by a variety of vertebral and costal anomalies that result in thoracic deformity. Hitherto, a plethora of associated anomalies have been described in several reports. In this report, the authors describe a case of JLS who has Wilms tumor and bilateral cystic renal disease. To the authors' knowledge, there is only a single case of JLS who presented with multiple renal cortical cysts, but none with an associated Wilms tumor in the literature. Additional anomalies seen in the present case that are related with this syndrome are also discussed.
