Turcot's syndrome, the association of brain tumor (usually glioblastoma, medullo‐blastoma, or astrocytoma) and colonic polyps, is a very rare condition of which about 20 cases have been reported. It has been described only once previously with cancer in a third organ system. In this paper, we report a child affected with colonic polyposis and astrocytoma (i.e., Turcot's syndrome) associated with intestinal non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Abstract
Turcot's syndrome, the association of brain tumor (usually glioblastoma, medullo‐blastoma, or astrocytoma) and colonic polyps, is a very rare condition of which about 20 cases have been reported. It has been described only once previously with cancer in a third organ system. In this paper, we report a child affected with colonic polyposis and astrocytoma (i.e., Turcot's syndrome) associated with intestinal non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma.
