Summary

An eleven-year-old girl with 45,XO Turner's syndrome, Wilms' tumor and imperforate anus is presented. The family history revealed that a sib of the patient also had imperforate anus. A review of the literature showed that the occurrence of Wilm's tumor in patients with Turner's syndrome has not been recorded previously, although it is known that anomalous differentiation of the kidneys is relatively common in this condition.
