This study is the first exhaustive description of cancers and Kawasaki disease (KD) occurring in close temporal proximity. Nearly half of these patients develop coronary artery abnormalities. In KD, persistent lymphadenopathy, enlargement of liver/spleen and development of low blood cell counts should trigger evaluation for cancer. Our study also raises a possibility that cancers might occasionally trigger KD.
