Abstract

DICER1 syndrome, a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, stems from mutations in the DICER1 gene, disrupting RNA interference and leading to various tumors. These tumors, affecting organs like the lung, kidney, ovaries, and brain, pose diagnostic challenges due to diverse presentations. Understanding DICER1-associated tumors, including pleuropulmonary blastoma, ovarian Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors, and others, is vital for early detection and management. Surgical resection, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies are primary treatment modalities, with genetic counseling playing a crucial role. Multidisciplinary care is essential for optimal management, offering hope for improved outcomes in affected individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
