Article information

El síndrome de Nijmegen es una rara entidad autosómica recesiva caracterizada por un síndrome dismórfico peculiar (microcefalia, cara de pájaro, talla corta), inmunodeficiencia combinada acompañada de infecciones recurrentes, hipersensibilidad a las radiaciones ionizantes y predisposición a la aparición de neoplasias, sobre todo linfomas, debido a inestabilidad cromosómica por anomalías en los mecanismos de reparación de las roturas del ADN.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 6 años con síndrome de Nijmegen, que en su evolución desarrolló un linfoma no hodgkiniano de células B grandes de localización pulmonar sin afectación ganglionar.

Palabras clave:
Síndrome de Nijmegen
Roturas cromosómicas
Inmunodeficiencia primaria
Linfoma no hodgkiniano
Linfoma de células B rico en células T

Nijmegen breakage syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a peculiar dysmorphic syndrome (microcephaly, “bird-like™ facies, short stature), combined immunodeficiency with recurrent infections, X-ray hypersensitivity and predisposition to malignancy, mainly lymphomas, as a consequence of chromosome instability due to anomalies in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks.

We present a 6-year-old boy with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, who developed a large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, localized in the lung without nodal involvement.

Key words:
Nijmegen breakage syndrome
Chromosome breakage
Primary immunodeficiency
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
T-cell-rich B-cell lymphoma
