Abstract

Tumors are rare causes of sudden death in infancy and early childhood. The goals of this study were to determine the types and frequency of the tumors associated with sudden death occurring in cases between birth and age 3 years. The San Diego Sudden Infant Death Syndrome/sudden unexplained death in childhool (SUDC) Research Project database and the literature were reviewed retrospectively. Sixty-eight cases, with the most (84%) affecting the heart and brain, were identified. Tumors are a rare but significant cause of sudden death in infancy and early childhood, and their diagnosis may have significant genetic implications for planning future pregnancies. The diagnosis of these lesions can be established only after thorough postmortem examination.
