Abstract

Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder frequently caused by PTPN11 mutations. Patients with Noonan syndrome are characterized by facial dysmorphism, short stature and congenital heart defects and they have a reported predisposition to malignancies such as leukemia, and solid and central nervous system tumors. Here, we report a case of a 14-year-old boy with Noonan syndrome treated for T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with 2 concomitant abnormalities: cerebral abscess and high grade glioblastoma. This exceptional association exhibits to a poorer prognosis and may sometimes delay the diagnosis and therefore the therapeutic intervention.
