Neoplasia in Turner syndrome: a retrospective cohort study in a tertiary referral centre in Belgium.
CONCLUSION: The overall malignancy risk was not increased, but a different pattern of occurrence is apparent, with an increased risk of CNS and skin tumours and a decreased breast cancer risk. Gonadoblastoma/dysgerminoma was not reported. There is a need for centralised multidisciplinary care and prospective research to unravel and predict the neoplasia risk.
