Abstract : A case of Fanconi's anemia presenting for the first time at the age of 23 years is described. He died of adenocarcinoma of the stomach 4 months later. As far as the authors are aware, this is the second case of adenocarcinoma of the stomach occurring in Fanconi's anemia. As Fanconi's anemia is known to predispose to malignancy, all patients need detailed evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract by endoscopy as well as radiology for the early detection of gastrointestinal lesions.
