Fanconi’s anemia is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by congenital abnormalities and anaplastic anemia. Patients with this disorder has predisposition for leukemia, specifically acute myeloid leukemia. Risk for head and neck solid tumors are also increased. Head and neck cancers in patients with Fanconi’s anemia are significantly different from those in patients without Fanconi’s anemia in frequency, distribution, clinical course, and treatment.
