Late onset Li-Fraumeni Syndrome with bilateral breast cancer and other malignancies: case report and review of the literatureKeywords: Li-Fraumeni-Syndrome, LFS, TP53, Secondary cancer, Treatment Abstract: We report a patient with LFS harbouring heterozygous, pathogenic TP53 germline mutation, who was affected by four synchronous malignancies at the age of 40: a myxofibrosarcoma of the right upper arm, bilateral breast cancer and a periadrenal liposarcoma. Radiological treatments and a surveillance program were adjusted according to recommendations for LFS patients.Management of tumour treatment of patients with LFS is different to the general population because of their risk for secondary cancers in the radiation field. Screening procedures should take a possibly elevated risk for radiation induced cancer into account.
