Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited syndrome characterized by chromosomal instability, aplastic anemia and cancer predisposition, accompanied by congenital anomalies. In these patients, the probability of tumor development in the head and neck region is higher than in the normal population. A patient with fanconi aplastic anemia was admitted to our clinic due to painful lesions in the oral cavity. A brush biopsy was taken from the relevant lesions and sent for histopathological examination. No atypical cells were found in the biopsy result, and the patient was called for regular dental check-ups due to the increased risk of malignancy. In this case report, it is aimed to examine the findings of a patient with FA and the necessity of monitoring the intraoral lesions in terms of malignancy risk, in the light of the literature.
