Liede et al[1] reported two families with clustering of breast cancer, pyloric stenosis and endometriosis in multiple generations. The authors speculate that this might be a new syndrome. Endometriosis is known to cluster in families and is associated with increased breast cancer risk, see: Endometriosis, familial.
