Dear Andy:

here are a few examples of non-hematopietic tumors in PID:

Patients with ataxia-telangiectasia are at high risk for a variety of
tumors(including skin, breast, and ovarian-testicular) because of radiosensitivity.
Patients with CD40 ligand deficiency are at high risk for liver/biliary duct and
gastrointestinal (PNET) tumors.
