ABSTRACT

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a genodermatosis with multisystem, life-threatening complications such as malignancies. We present the case of a 37-year-old male diagnosed of DC in his infancy that developed a neuroendocrine gastric tumor and died. We also review the clinical features of the disease and emphasize the importance of performing a close surveillance of these patients due to the significant risk of malignancies.
