Probably not: The pathology folks may have checked the genetics of your aunt's tumor and/or reported whether the histopathology looked like Lynch's. The breast cancer, acoustic neuroma, pancreatic cancer, and esophageal carcinoma aren't suggesting Lynch's. At these ages, this isn't rare in families with good vascular health -- live longer & so greater lifetime cancer risk. Great question though.
