Chromosomal breakage syndromes, including ataxia-telangiectasia (AT), are autosomal recessive disorders in which DNA repair mechanisms are defective resulting in chromosomal instability. Affected individuals are at high risk for developing malignancy because of the widespread resulting cellular effects. One such effect, severe immunosuppression, can permit virally mediated neoplasms to manifest, similar to those seen in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), congenital immune deficiency syndromes, and posttransplant populations. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common viral agent known to be associated with lymphoid, epithelial, and smooth muscle malignancies in such patients. Although smooth muscle tumors have been reported in patients with AT, their association with EBV has not been evaluated. We present a case of EBV-associated laryngeal leiomyosarcoma and jejunal cellular leiomyoma in a child with AT. This case suggests that the development of neoplasia in patients with chromosomal breakage syndromes may be related to the immunosuppressive consequences of these diseases, and searching for infectious causes (such as EBV) is important.
